Description

COMPLIANCE

The legal duty of care employers owe to staff extends to all work activities, including driving for work. Most importantly, providing staff who drive with appropriate information and training on driving risks helps protect their safety and wellbeing, and that of other road users. But it also helps organisations to avoid criminal and civil legal sanctions - and protect their reputation - should something go wrong.

WINTER HAZARDS

Safer Driving in Winter uses a risk-based approach to consider hazards including poor weather conditions and low temperatures.

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
