VTCT Skills for Logistics - Driver Assessor

Often the first step in a potential trainer’s journey is to become a Driver Assessor.

A Driver Assessor’s role is to assess drivers against a recognised risk grading, allowing the business an understanding of the level of a risk each driver poses. A key benefit to this structured assessment is ensuring that all drivers are graded in the same way to a recognised and robust national standard.

Driver Assessors are taught how to risk grade in 5 bands from low risk to high risk, enabling training and interventions to be targeted at the higher risk drivers. Driver Assessors benefit businesses by identifying risk and helping to reduce driver accident severity and frequency.

This course prepares you to risk rate your entire driver team.  You’ll be able to identify high-risk and medium to high-risk drivers so that training interventions can be applied to improve overall performance, driving down cost, improving operation efficiency and profitability.

Many businesses have Driver Assessors who are overseen by Driver Trainer Assessors, whose role is to train drivers to improve their skills and reduce their risk grading.
