Our course content comes from may years of industry experience and analysing initiatives the world over, to produce what we believe to be the most effective and applicable program to protect you on the road. Our courses provide simple yet valuable training tools for you and your personnel to take track experience and relate it to real life situations.
We do this by focusing on 3 core areas;
1. The vehicle - understanding the dynamic design and function limitations of your vehicle; modern active and passive safety systems to ensure maximum effectiveness; vehicle maintenance and the importance of good tyres.
2. The driver - the human body was not designed to drive motor cars! Learn why our body reacts the way it does when driving and how to change these reactions to avoid and manage accident situations.
3. Social aptitude - sharing the road, road rage, coping with stress behind the wheel, managing your obligations and planning your trip.
Our Driver Development courses are highly specialised and unique to Total Driver with purpose built simulators unlike those used by other companies. Participant interaction is paramount for the successful education of each person and where participation is not possible, graphic visual illustration is provided. Courses follow a structured progressive format with required learning outcomes at successive module completion.
