FORS Professional Safe Driving with immersive VR (7-hour)
FORS Professional Safe Driving is a suite training option designed to help drivers reduce work-related road risk and improve the safety of vulnerable road users. It meets the mandatory Work-related Road Risk (WRRR) driver training requirement at FORS Silver, is aligned to the DVSA Driver CPC syllabus and applies to drivers of all vehicle types.
The original Safe Driving course is delivered over 7 hours as two half-day modules. Drivers will complete a theory session alongside an immersive VR session immersing drivers in realistic, risk-based scenarios without the need for on-road cycling.
For those needing a more time-efficient option, Safe Driving Essentials packs both the theory and VR elements into a single 3.5-hour module. This streamlined format delivers the same outcome in half the training time, making it easier to plan around operational demands.
Whichever route you choose, the learning outcomes remain consistent. By the end of the course, drivers will be able to:
- Explain the moral, legal and economic reasons for safe driving
- Apply defensive driving techniques to share the road safely
- Reduce risk across urban, rural and motorway environments
- Recognise how driver fitness, health, distraction and impairment impact safety
- Understand the vehicle technology and equipment that support safer driving,
FORS Professional Safe Driving replaces the previous Safe Urban Driving (SUD) and Van Smart courses, offering a single, updated programme that reflects the realities of today’s road environment.
