Training 3000 Tesco drivers

When Tesco joined the Driver CPC Consortium, System Training enabled six members of Tesco staff to become highly-qualified driver training instructors – who then delivered the Driver CPC course to over 3000 Tesco goods vehicle drivers.

Having recruited the trainers and up-skilled them, System Training also provided them with a toolkit to enable them to pass on their knowledge.  System Training worked closely with Tesco to harmonise their training materials with the requirements of the Driver CPC, and provided instructor manuals and workbooks for drivers on each individual course.

System Training will continue to provide administrative support to Tesco and will monitor the progress of the drivers involved in the scheme.  System also upload the training data to the Driving Standards Agency JAUPT website delivering a seamless quality service to ensure drivers are provided with the required legal qualifications.

They will also work closely with Tesco to set robust procedures to ensure ongoing quality of training is of the highest possible standard, and is actually over and above the requirements of the Driver CPC guidelines.

Alex Laffey, Tesco Transport Director, said:

“System Training's consortium model delivers a good solution for Tesco as a company.  As well as allowing us to provide high-quality training for our drivers, System Training really goes that extra mile to ensure we make full use of the training delivered for the maximum operational benefit.  At Tesco, we are aiming to provide the best training to our drivers so that we can reduce our impact on the roads and environment.”
