Licence Checking (as a specific course)
Licence checking is often done by a secretary, PA or office manager, who has never been given training on the licensing system or understanding licences. Incorrectly identified categories, fake licences, or just failing to understand restriction codes and exemptions can all lead to unlicensed, and therefore uninsured, driving with company approval and on company business. This leaves you vulnerable to prosecution for a wide range of offences from ‘causing or permitting’ an offence right through to corporate manslaughter.
The course ensures that individuals responsible for licence checking know what to look for. It provides robust checking processes that avoid missing key information, and explains the categories, restriction codes, exemptions, critical dates and how to spot fakes, or someone just trying to conceal endorsements.
