Driving Hours (Assimilated, Domestic & Working Time Directive)

Driving Hours (Assimilated, Domestic & Working Time Directive)

Operators have an undertaking to ensure that the rules relating to drivers hours are adhered to. Good training is the first step in ensuring that this is so, as without it the drivers are unlikely to know the intricacies of the regulations.

This course benefits from simplicity without being simplistic. It is interesting and involves debate, whilst remaining very accessible to the audience.

  • The course objectives are to:
  • improve candidates knowledge of all regulations
  • allow candidates to participate and debate regulations
  • involve candidates in assessment of scenarios in order to apply the regulations

  • allow a time for discussion of any compliance matters that concern the candidates

Learning outcomes

  • By the end of the course, candidates will have an understanding of:
  • Assimilated Driving Hours
  • Road Transport Working Time Directive
  • Domestic hours regulations
  • Mixed Driving (EU & Domestic), incorporating all regulations and WTD
  • Driver CPC regulations
  • Other compliance issues (open time for debate and questions)

Course duration

Half Day (3.5 hours excluding breaks).

“It’s no secret that Driver CPC is not popular with drivers but our drivers have always responded positively to Prompt Training. On the rare occasion individual driver feedback has been ambivalent or poor, Prompt want to know why straight away. It’s usually a grumpy driver that doesn’t see the point in training yet Prompt bright it to our attention immediately and always request additional feedback from us to close it off. This process gives me total confidence that they take their quality assurance very seriously. Prompt are a quality organisation to deal with.”
