E-Learning Programme

The Drive & Survive E-Learner product is an in-house designed, web-based, training package, which provides drivers with a wealth of interesting road-related facts, hints, tips and ideas aimed at assisting the driver in avoiding some of the most common types of incidents. 

As with practical, on-road Drive & Survive Training the programme focuses on typical incident scenarios, provides examples of what can go wrong and offers advice as to how these may be prevented.

Areas of the programme will focus on the individual’s vulnerability as a road user and will examine their powers of concentration, observation and perception. Also incorporated are specific ‘coaching sessions’, which will cover such topics as parking & manoeuvring and personal security.

Throughout the E-Learner programme, extensive use is made of moving graphics and other contemporary presentation formats, in order to retain interest and make the experience more pleasurable.

Each module of the E-Learner has a bank of questions associated with it, which will measure the degree to which each driver has absorbed the information provided. The programme not only rates each participant’s performance in terms of questions answered correctly but also takes into account how many attempts were made to do this and the time taken overall. A participant who takes a very short time, even if the questions were answered correctly, may not have absorbed all the information available.

Once selected for the programme, drivers will be given a unique password, which will allow them access to the programme for a pre-determined period but they will be able to log on and off the site at will during this time, thus allowing it to fit around normal work patterns. If participants complete the modules in the correct manner, and without having to repeat the modules too often, it should take about an hour in total.

Driver e-learning is a practical and cost effective contribution to managing road risk.
