The brief
What is this course, and who is it for?
This is a showcase course by Apollo Accreditation, the UK and EU course development and accreditation consultancy, built for delivery drivers, field staff and anyone who drives for work. It shows how we design for logistics and transport, and every activity below works in your browser.
The problem it solves
Driving is often the riskiest part of the job, and it happens away from the premises. The employer's duty of care still applies.
A working day on the road, with a decision at each stop and a little time pressure.
What learners can do afterwards
- Deal with phone calls and messages without touching the phone
- Adjust following distance for speed and weather
- Recognise tiredness and stop safely
- Do a quick walk-round check before setting off

Questions
Common questions about this course
Can it use footage from our own vans?
Yes. The illustrated clip can be replaced with your own dashcam footage, with the pause points set where your incidents usually happen.
How long would it take to build a course like this?
As a guide, an interactive module takes four to six weeks from when we receive your material, and a straight conversion two to three. This course has 4 modules, so we plan it in stages, and you review each script before we build it.
Will it work on our learning platform?
Yes, in most cases. We hand courses over as SCORM or xAPI packages, which nearly every learning platform accepts, and we test the finished package on your platform before you sign off. If you don't have a platform, it can run on ours.
