System Training has won a major new contract to train driving instructors for supermarket giant Tesco.

The national training company, a member of Logistics Academy North West, has been commissioned to deliver training to Tesco instructors - who will go on to become driver training instructors to over 3,000 Tesco goods vehicle drivers.

The deal came about after Tesco began looking for a solution to training its workforce to comply with new Driver CPC legislation, which became mandatory in September 2009.  In addition, the SAFED (Safe and Fuel Efficient Driving) techniques will help Tesco meet its target of reducing diesel consumption by 7% - as documented in the BBC’s latest Panorama programme.  In turn, the proposed fuel savings will increase company profits and reduce pollution.
