Explore Instructor Training Courses
Driver CPC training is often viewed as a regulatory burden, with many drivers finding generic courses unengaging. Recognising this, the Co-op worked with SP Training to develop a tailored course designed specifically for their business needs.
The bespoke course combines classroom and practical elements, including hands-on exercises like cage chocking and reversing practice. This unique approach ensures that drivers leave the course with refreshed knowledge and skills directly relevant to their daily roles.
The feedback from drivers has been overwhelmingly positive, with many highlighting the value of learning content they can apply on the job. As one driver noted, “This isn’t just another day in the classroom—it’s training that makes a difference.”
Empowering Trainers Through Professional Development
A key element of SP Training’s approach is its commitment to continuing professional development for trainers. Working closely with the DVSA, SP Training ensures that instructors delivering Driver CPC training are highly competent in subject knowledge.
Through Train the Trainer programmes, team and individual sessions, SP Training equips instructors to deliver specific courses effectively and stay up-to-date with industry advancements. Additionally, certifications such as VTCT Skills for Logistics, NRI, and Low Carbon prepare trainers to instruct on modern alternative-powered vehicles, enabling them to lead in the evolving transport and logistics sector.
This empowerment extends to businesses, enabling them to take ownership of their training delivery. By training internal instructors, organisations like the Co-op benefit from:
- Convenience: Training delivery at times that suit operational requirements.
- Value: Reduced reliance on external trainers, leading to cost savings.
- Efficiency: Business-specific modules that provide tangible results.
SP Training’s Train the Trainer initiatives ensure that trainers and businesses are equipped to achieve exceptional outcomes.
A Few Words From the Co-op Team
“Going into partnership with SP Training as part of our Driver CPC Consortium is working well for the Co-op. From working closely on the bespoke course to cover all the hot topics and send a consistent message across multiple sites, it also gives us the flexibility of using SP Training’s own CPC course, whether it’s online or in the classroom.
The administrative team is always contactable, polite, and quick to rectify any issues or concerns we may have.
We are looking forward to working on next year’s course and in the foreseeable future.”
