Protect your drivers and your business. Arrange practical, on-site training built around your company’s needs.
Hampshire Direct Training provides comprehensive training solutions tailored specifically for corporate fleet operations.
Whether you're managing a small fleet or coordinating hundreds of vehicles across multiple sites, we understand the unique challenges facing fleet managers today.
Beyond training new HGV drivers entering the industry, we specialise in upskilling your existing workforce through advanced driver training programmes.
These courses are designed to enhance your drivers' road knowledge, improve fuel efficiency, reduce incident rates, and promote safer driving practices across your entire fleet.
Investing in regular driver training not only protects your drivers and other road users but can also lead to significant cost savings through reduced insurance premiums, lower fuel consumption, and decreased vehicle wear and tear.
We also ensure your drivers maintain full compliance with their Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) requirements, helping you avoid potential fines and operational disruptions.
HDT provides professional shunter training for candidates who need to manoeuvre vehicles safely within private yards and depot environments.
This training requires no HGV licence, making it ideal for warehouse staff, yard operatives, or anyone responsible for moving trailers on private property.
Our comprehensive shunter training programme covers:
Each course can be customised to reflect your company's specific yard layout, fleet composition, and internal procedures.
Upon successful completion, candidates receive a certificate confirming their competency, providing you with documented evidence of training for your compliance records.
Our experienced assessors provide thorough driver evaluations for both new recruits and established members of your team.
Whether you're onboarding a new driver to your fleet or conducting periodic reviews of existing drivers, our assessments deliver valuable insights that benefit both driver and employer.
During an assessment, one of our qualified instructors will accompany your driver on a typical route, observing their driving style, decision-making, hazard perception, and adherence to safety protocols.
We evaluate everything from basic vehicle control to fuel-efficient driving techniques and professional conduct.
Following the assessment, we provide detailed feedback highlighting:
These assessments aren't limited to HGV drivers. We also assess van drivers and other commercial vehicle operators within your fleet.
Regular driver assessments can help reduce accident rates, improve driver confidence, demonstrate due diligence to insurers, and identify training needs before they become costly problems.
HDT offers a wide range of Driver CPC periodic training courses to keep your drivers legally compliant.
While our main training centre is located in Totton, Southampton, we understand that releasing drivers from their duties can impact your operations. That's why we bring the training directly to you.
Our mobile training service allows us to deliver CPC courses at your premises, minimising disruption to your business and eliminating travel time for your staff.
This is particularly beneficial for larger fleets where coordinating off-site training can be challenging.
We can schedule training sessions around your operational needs, including evenings or weekends if required.
On-site training is available not just for drivers but also for office staff, transport managers, and anyone involved in fleet operations who would benefit from relevant training modules.
