Train the Trainer Assessor Training

Train the Trainer Assessor Training.

At EP Training, we understand that maintaining high driving standards is critical to safety, compliance, and operational efficiency within the transport industry. That’s why we are proud to introduce our Train the Trainer Driver Assessment course — a comprehensive, practical programme designed to equip your team with the skills and confidence to assess drivers in-house.

Rather than relying on external assessors, this course empowers your business to take control of its own driver evaluation process. Whether you are onboarding new drivers, monitoring performance, or addressing incidents and risk, having qualified in-house assessors can make a significant difference.

Why Choose Train the Trainer?

Outsourcing driver assessments can be effective, but it often becomes costly and less flexible over time. By training your own staff, you gain the ability to carry out assessments when needed, respond quickly to issues, and build a culture of continuous improvement. This approach not only reduces long-term costs but also strengthens internal standards and accountability.

Our course is ideal for transport managers, supervisors, trainers, and experienced drivers who are looking to take on an assessor role within their organisation.

Course Overview

The Train the Trainer Driver Assessment  is delivered over three days and combines classroom-based learning with practical, hands-on experience. It is designed primarily for HGV environments but is equally applicable to bus, coach, and other commercial vehicle operations.

During the course, participants will learn how to:

• Plan and conduct structured driver assessments
• Identify strengths, weaknesses, and risk factors in driver behaviour
• Assess both new and experienced drivers effectively
• Evaluate drivers following incidents or accidents
• Deliver constructive feedback and coaching
• Produce clear, professional assessment reports
• Maintain consistency and fairness in the assessment process

By the end of the programme, delegates will have the knowledge and confidence to carry out assessments independently within their organisation.

Certification

On completion of the assessors course, all successful participants will receive certification from EP Training, recognising their competence as a driver assessor. This certification demonstrates a commitment to safety, professionalism, and high operational standards — both internally and to external stakeholders.

Flexible Delivery Options

We understand that every business operates differently, which is why we offer flexible delivery options. The course can be delivered:

• On-site at your premises, allowing training to be tailored to your specific operation
• At our dedicated training centre in Great Bookham, providing a focused learning environment

This flexibility ensures minimal disruption to your operations while maximising the effectiveness of the training.

Cost-Effective Investment

The Driver Assessor course is priced at £695 per day plus VAT, delivered over three days. Each course can accommodate up to two delegates, making it a highly cost-effective option for businesses looking to maximise value. By enrolling multiple team members at once, you significantly increase your return on investment and strengthen your internal capability at the same time.

While this represents an upfront investment, the long-term savings are substantial. By developing your own in-house assessors, you reduce the need for repeated external assessments and gain ongoing capability within your team.

More importantly, improved driver standards can lead to reduced accident rates, lower insurance premiums, and enhanced compliance — all of which contribute to a stronger, more efficient business.
