Introduction to Logistics

A two-day course to give our learners a broad understanding of the logistics industry, and the context of a driver within it. We emphasise the importance of safety, discussing topics such as bridge strikes and drivers hours, to ensure our drivers understand the gravitas of their actions within these scenarios. We also cover route mapping, compliance, health and safety and more.

Employability

Our employability course is designed to give our learners confidence, and understand more about their role as a driver. They learn what transferrable skills they have which apply to their new career, create a CV relevant to the industry, and participate in interview role-play. We also cover topics that include employee etiquette, mental health and wellbeing amongst others.

Employer Participation

Our courses are bespoke, meaning that our employers can have as much input into the programs as they wish. Ideally, we aim to offer all of our learners some work experience during the program, to ensure they fully understand the vocation they are entering into, but employers can also get involved with things like course design and classroom training (workshops, info about the company and roles on offer).

Full Mentor Support

All of our learners receive full mentor support from day one of the program, until 12 months post-employment. The aim is to ensure that our learners succeed and that our employers can rely on us to act as a safety net or mediator, if required.
