Milebay expands training portfolio
Despite the business challenges posed by the Covid pandemic, training provider Milebay reports that it has continued to grow, through both a move to bigger offices and an expansion in its variety of LGV and PSV training courses.
The company has also launched sister firm Milebay Auditing Ltd, an expert team of professional auditors working with the Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) to deliver Bronze, Silver and Gold FORS Standard accredited auditing services.
“Milebay are your one-stop-shop for driver and operator training and compliance services and can help with everything you might need to gain and retain the highest safe and legal operator requirements,” said Peter Lambert, managing director.
“In addition to the seven-hour Driver CPC and different transport management courses we run… we’ve launched new 3.5-hour module Driver CPC courses, offering even more flexibility and variety.
“To get a seven-hour government upload, recorded towards a driver’s 35 hours of periodic training every five years, trainees must complete a seven-hour course, or two 3.5 hour modules must be completed on the same training day.”
The new 3.5 hour DCPC modules were launched by Milebay last month.
Milebay’s JAUPT and FORS approved courses are delivered via online and classroom based training, with highlighted benefits including relevant, quality-focused training and experienced, qualified instructors. Online learners will access the latest technology with advanced features on Milebay’s Jabra Panacast camera “engineered to be the world’s first intelligent 180° Panoramic-4K plug-and-play video solution”.
A wide range of courses are available, covering content such as driver and vehicle legal requirements, tachograph and drivers’ hours, vulnerable road users, eco and safe driving, load safety, driver essentials, smart motorways, driver wellbeing and mental health, working with others, first aid, safeguarding and risk assessment.
The range of FORS courses offered include Safe Urban Driving, TruckSmart, LoCity, VanSmart, Smart Motorways, Staying Legal and eLearning modules.
Transport Manager CPC, refresher and OLAT courses are also available.
In addition to training, Milebay offers transport compliance advice and says it can assist with all fleet transport requirements, including FORS, DVSA Earned Recognition and transport management services.
The company’s established transport consultants can provide honest advice and information on the latest updates and legislation, says Milebay, while its team of transport professionals, FORS Practitioners and customer-focused admin staff are always happy to go the extra mile.
Bespoke training can be created specifically to suit customers’ focus (industry, products, company ethos and objectives, workplace environment, clients etc), and flexible group training options are available – day or night, seven days a week and out-of-hours.
“We can provide training at our training centre or at your premises, at a time that suits your business and operations to minimise the disruption of taking groups of staff away from their work at key times,” said Peter Lambert.
Milebay is currently offering a discount for Transport Operator readers who mention this article when telephoning to book and pay for seven hours’ or more Driver CPC training. Contact details are available via the website.
