A safe, skilled, and qualified driver workforce – managed entirely for you.
Driver medicals and assessments
We arrange all required HGV medicals and pre-training assessments on your behalf. This ensures every candidate meets DVLA health standards and that we understand their ability level from day one.
You get faster onboarding, reduced admin, and a clear picture of each driver’s suitability for training.
Theory and hazard perception training
Your drivers receive structured support to pass Theory and Hazard Perception tests first time.
This includes:
- Online learning access

Your drivers become fully qualified and compliant with current Driver CPC legislation – essential for fleet safety and legal operation.
Cat C / Cat C+E practical courses
Hands-on, instructor-led practical training tailored to your fleet needs. Drivers train in modern vehicles, learning real-world skills such as safe loading, manoeuvring, reversing, coupling/uncoupling (for C+E), and best-practice roadcraft.
Courses are designed to build confidence, develop safe habits, and maximise pass rates.
3a and 3b tests
We manage the full testing process, including booking and preparing drivers for the DVSA 3a off-road manoeuvres test and 3b on-road driving test.
Your team completes both stages smoothly, with clear guidance on what to expect and how to succeed.
Certification and compliance reporting
Once drivers pass, we issue all certification directly and provide clear compliance reporting for your records.
You’ll receive:

FAQ
A safe, skilled, and qualified driver workforce – managed entirely for you.
What exactly makes your service managed?
Because we handle everything that typically sits on your desk. A fully managed service means we take ownership of the entire training journey – from first assessment to final certification – including:
- Scheduling all training, tests, medicals and CPC modules
- Direct communication with your drivers (while keeping you updated)
- All DVLA/DVSA licence paperwork and booking administration
- National test-centre and trainer coordination
- Real-time progress tracking in the Insite Portal
- Post-training reporting and compliance documentation
You get trained, qualified drivers without having to manage the process.
How much does it cost - and is it worth it?
Pricing varies by driver numbers, licence category and locations, but most clients see a measurable return because we remove hidden internal costs such as admin time, test booking delays, training inefficiencies and failed attempts.
Clients typically save 20-30% compared with running training internally or using multiple local providers. We can provide a clear costed proposal, ROI summary, and timeline once we understand your requirements.
What measurable outcomes can you prove?
We track every outcome across training quality, pass performance and operational impact. On average, our clients see:
- 90% to 94% first-time pass rates across Cat C and C+E
- Faster onboarding, with most drivers qualified within 6-10 weeks
- Reduced turnover, with clients reporting retention improvements of 20–25% due to clear development pathways
- Lower training costs, driven by fewer cancellations and more predictable scheduling
We can share case studies and anonymised benchmarks on request.
Can you handle large-scale, multi-site training?
Yes. Insite delivers HGV training nationally, with a UK-wide trainer network, approved test partners and scalable scheduling systems.
We support organisations with dozens to hundreds of drivers per year across logistics, retail distribution, construction, utilities, local authorities and more. Whether you operate one depot or 50, we can run a consistent, centrally managed programme.
How do I know my drivers will actually pass?
We combine structured learning with ongoing support:
- Pre-training assessments so drivers start at the right level
- Guided theory and hazard-perception coaching
- High-intensity, instructor-led practical training
- Mock tests and remedial support if anyone needs extra help
- Data-backed progress tracking for every driver
Our first-time pass rates consistently sit between 96–98%, and no driver is left behind – we continue support until they qualify.

Many have 10-20 years’ operational experience, ensuring drivers learn from people who’ve done the job in real-world conditions.

- Track CPC modules and renewal dates
- Export data for your internal HRIS, LMS or compliance system

This reduces admin workload and ensures your fleet stays compliant without manual chasing.

Your drivers don’t just qualify – they stay supported.
We provide:
- Full post-training reporting and certification
- CPC renewal reminders and ongoing module options
- Refresher courses
- Compliance updates and licence tracking inside the portal
- Optional development pathways (e.g., Cat C to Cat C+E)
A managed service shouldn’t end at the test. We stay with you through the entire driver lifecycle.
