Safe Urban Driving and Van Smart – in order to assist operators, a temporary relaxation is in place around meeting ‘S5 Professional development’ WRRR requirement for SUD and VS. During the COVID-19 pandemic and in order to provide support to FORS members, FORS has introduced a temporary relaxation for meeting the work-related road risk (WRRR) professional development requirement S5 for FORS members wishing to progress to Silver, or renewing their Silver accreditation. This means that from now until further notice from FORS, members will be able to pass the WRRR training requirement by undertaking the theory part only of Safe Urban Driving (SUD) or Van Smart (VS), with the practical on-cycle element undertaken by the time of the following yearly Silver re-approval audit.

This course is for the THEORY ELEMENT of Safe Urban Driving and consists of 3.5hrs of theory training. You will be contacted at a later date to complete the practical cycle element when social distancing rules are relaxed.

This course is being delivered via Fleet Source Live, the new dynamic interactive livecast.
