DEFENSIVE DRIVER TRAINING

---

Our  Defensive Driver Training (DDT) course is specifically designed by  subject matter experts in this field. It offers the client’s  organisation enhanced skills to its staff drivers and is generally  delivered over a 3-day period. This timeframe takes into account the  number of learners and high emphasis on practical assessments. 

The  majority of accidents in Africa happen on the road, it is imperative  that drivers have the knowledge to correctly deal with planning,  management and delivery of defensive driving and relative procedures in  Nigeria and the Sahel Region.  

Hazardous  environment driver awareness is essential to coping with internal and  external security threats that an international or domestic mission can  likely face on the ground and is conducive to:  

• Enhancing the resilience of personnel when working in hazardous environments;  

•  Increasing the understanding of proactive security and basic field  measures to be taken before, during and after a mission in a conflict  zone;  

•  Providing personnel with the basic tools and techniques needed to avoid  potentially dangerous situations or to cope adequately with actual  endangering situations in the field.  

Our  course includes modules to ensure that learners are fully aware and  trained for the environments they may operate in. Modules consist of:  

• Vehicle First and Last Parade;  

• Pre-Departure Vehicle Checks, Characteristics, Capability & Vulnerability of the 4x4;

• Communications and Radio protocol;  

• Developing Situational Awareness;

Throughout  and at the end of the course, learners are put through a series of  driving assessments and scenarios both during the day and at night, that  are based on real life situations that have occurred to test the skills  learnt during the course.
