Drivers’ Hours and Tachographs
This is a one-day course covering all the aspects and legislation concerned with EU, domestic and mixed driving hours. It is often described as more of a ‘workshop’, as exercises are incorporated into the course to further aid learning. An ‘in-house’ assessment is held at the end of the course and a certificate awarded to successful candidates.
Courses are held regularly throughout the year or for group bookings on request.
