Both Driver and Manager Levels

We offer in class room training courses for both analogue and digital tachographs, which can be attached to drivers hours training and included as part of the drivers CPC requirements, if required. The more common digital tachograph systems are Seimens and Stoneridge and we offer interactive training on both products utilising simulator systems.

The digital tachograph was introduced to cut down on illegal use of tachographs, both by drivers and operators and also make controlling drivers hours easier.

The Driver Level course focuses on how to use the tachograph properly and covers the rules and regulations that are the driver’s responsibility. There is both classroom and hands on instruction and a certificate of successful completion is given to each registrant.
