Why attend Driver Fatigue
Educating drivers about the risk of fatigue is a cost-effective way to reduce incidents, collisions, conviction rates, protect business reputation and avoid unnecessary penalties and costs.
Driver Fatigue highlights the impact of fatigue on driving and how to recognise the signs, the consequences of an incident and their responsibilities. Our experienced driver trainers fully engage with participants to maximise the learning experience and draw out their views and opinions.
“We used TTC for our CPC training and found that it was dealt with very easily. Everyone at TTC that we spoke to were polite and efficient to ensure that our needs were met. The trainers and the facilities were of a good standard.”
