Participants will spend time in the classroom, followed by a practical cycle training session to familiarise themselves with travelling by bicycle, foot, motorcycle and scooter. By learning basic on-road cycling skills, carrying out bicycle safety checks and negotiating road junctions and traffic, fleet drivers gain a better appreciation of the safety considerations from various road users’ perspectives.
The practical element is based on Cycling Scotland’s Essential Cycling Skills programme.
Being JAUPT-accredited, this course counts towards 7 hours of driver CPC (Certificate of professional competence). RUAT also meets FORS (Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme) Silver requirement S5 Vulnerable road user training.
