CMS SupaTrak launches Driver CPC centre
A CMS Driver Training session in progress
Telematics solutions provider CMS SupaTrak has launched a DVSA-approved Driver CPC Training Centre – which it says will offer an alternative to generic courses, and help operators gain real business value with its CMS-integrated approach.
The company says its CMS CPC Training Centre delivers interactive and engaging driver training, which will improve driver wellbeing, increase legal compliance, and help reduce emissions. Existing and new customers who use the CMS-integrated telematics solution, combined with the current CPC Courses, will undoubtedly save fuel, it adds.
“This is a genuinely holistic approach to driver training, fuel-saving and reducing emissions,” commented the designer and creator of the courses, Kevin Barcroft, CMS SupaTrak’s academy training manager.
The courses are aimed at tapping into and changing driver behaviour. Kevin uses quizzes, interactive videos and game show formats to guide the students through the course.
This helps retain the course material provided throughout the training, says CMS SupaTrak, helping learners become better, more professional drivers armed with up-to-date information while fulfilling the Driver CPC’s mandatory provisions.
The CMS CPC Driver Training Centre will initially be offering six courses, with more on the way. The initial programmes are: Bridge-Strikes, Tachographs, and Drivers’ Hours Rules Awareness (online and on-site); Emergency First Aid at Work (Certified up to Level 3 – on-site only); Fuel-Efficient and Safe Driving, National Standards and VRU Awareness (online and on-site); Health and Safety Awareness Training (online and on-site); Safer Vehicle, Safer People (online and on-site); and Driver Well-being and Customer Service.
Kevin added: “CPC is compulsory. Why waste money on generic conveyor-belt CPC training? A course that the drivers enjoy and retain is essential and simultaneously solves many problems for drivers and fleet operators.”
Jason Airey, managing director of CMS SupaTrak, said: “Once again, CMS is leading far ahead of its competitors. CPC requirements are a real headache for fleet operators, and coping with the driver shortage and fuel costs are at the forefront of their worries. The CMS CPC Driver Training Centre resolves these challenges while improving staff well-being, delivering compliance and reducing emissions and fuel costs. It is a no-brainer, really.”
