Managing Risk on the Road.

Driving Accidents are a substantial cost to organizations.

Both on-the-job and off-the-job driving accidents impact employers on a range of costs. These include property damage, workplace disruption, liability, health care and wage replacement.  According to a 2021 Driver Safety Report,  on-the-job highway crashes cost employers $66,119 per million vehicle miles of travel. Some types of risky driving behaviour make accidents more likely, and accidents are quite costly for employers.

While speeding is more common, it’s on-the-job impact is relatively low. Similarly, fewer than 20% of accidents where at least one driver was alcohol impaired impact people on the job. Distracted driving, however, stands apart – with 74% of accidents occurring while drivers are on the job.

How CPD Programs Work

Our training is based on the knowledge that over 90% of all collisions are caused by mental errors, not the lack of physical skill.

We start by working with you and your team to understand your unique situation to create and customize a program with our face-to-face learning modules.

Using advanced and innovative teaching methodology, we match the student’s needs and learning styles with knowledge - specific trainers who can make training more relevant to each individual.

PTP Methodology

3 Elements of Learning
CPD has developed a highly successful, proprietary driver training methodology called PTP which is build around 3 elements of learning:

Psychological

  1. Why we drive the way we do.
  2. CPD has developed a set of comprehensive guidelines to driver training that incorporates complex assessments of driving personality with the tenets of learning theory. Utilizing this framework we provide the drivers with the tools and understanding that will lead to a change in their driver behaviour.
Image

Theoretical

  1. Defensive Driving concepts and theory.
  2. With an insight into the various behaviours and driving styles, we establish a foundation of knowledge around the Theoretical components of professional driver training.
  3. Through the utilization of basic vision, space and communication skills, drivers learn how they can be effectively applied to reduce the chances of being involved in a collision. The Instructor develops the participants understanding of the vehicle characteristics, applicable laws and regulatory frameworks associated with managing and operating the vehicles.
  4. The CPD theoretical component incorporates our understanding how ‘learners learn’ which enables us to put together group learning, which enhances adult learning principles.

Practical

  1. Real hands-on experience to develop and correct habits – because adults learn best by doing.
  2. Adult learners are most successful when they are able to apply the information presented in a structured classroom environment. Practical in-vehicle exercises are designed to complement the knowledge of the drivers by providing them with actual hands-on practical experience.
  3. Each driver will have the opportunity to learn the maneuvers demonstrated, providing them with the tools necessary to continue to practice their skills properly in their driving environment.
