BLUE MOUNTAIN GROUP INSTRUCTORS FOCUS ON PRACTICAL LESSONS WHICH PROVIDE AN OVERALL BETTER LEARNING EXPERIENCE.
Our driving courses focus on training people to do a job, enhance spatial awareness, teach the vehicle characteristics, which ultimately helps make a more focused and safer driver, rather than just pass a course. Our highly trained and qualified instructors offer real-life scenarios which focus on practical lessons which provide an overall better learning experience.
There are three key factors in being a safe driver, these being concentration, observation, and anticipation. These three key factors can be carried through all that we do in life and not only when we are behind the wheel of a vehicle.
Evasive & Defensive Driving (EDD)
In a number of fast-moving and challenging scenarios and conditions, we teach our delegates how to recognise and respond to risk and threat and provide tactical skills and techniques to help mitigate potential attacks.
Security Chauffeur Driving
The first line of defence for any leadership team member who is fortunate enough to have a chauffeur is the chauffeur.
Having a well-trained, conscientious and professional security chauffeur is, in our opinion, the best first line of defence.
Defensive Driving & Road Safety Awareness (DDRSA)
The Defensive Driving and Road Safety Awareness Course (DDRSA) gives you and your company confidence in your driving ability and achieves duty of care compliance. The course is based around current legislation and motoring body standards
