Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Will It Take to Get My Operator Licence?
The time required to obtain your operator licence depends on several factors. While Operator Licencing typically estimates around nine weeks, recent events may cause delays. If you need your licence urgently, applying for an interim licence, which serves as a temporary licence, may be a prudent choice. We are here to assist you with this process. It’s important to note that the speed at which an interim licence is granted depends on the completeness and accuracy of your main application.
Would You Pass a DVSA Audit?
A Pre-audit can help you protect your OCRS score and minimize the likelihood of re-visits by the DVSA and potential enforcement actions.
What Should I Look for in Driver CPC Training?
When selecting a Driver CPC training provider, seek out a comprehensive range of relevant topics for drivers. This ensures the training remains useful, interesting, and engaging. Additionally, look for interactive elements, such as videos, quizzes, and feedback sessions, which enhance the learning experience and add significant value to the training.
What is FORS?
The Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) is a voluntary accreditation program that promotes best practices for commercial vehicle operators. FORS covers all aspects of safety, efficiency, and environmental protection by encouraging and training fleet operators to measure, monitor, and improve performance. It provides accreditation pathways for operators of all types, as well as for organizations that award contracts and specify transport requirements.
How Would We Benefit from a FORS Pre-Audit?
