“Overall this Driver CPC Periodic Training session was delivered to a very good standard”. These were the follow up comments given to South Wales based, Driver CPC approved training centre (AC 156) Big Wheelers, following a recent unannounced JAUPT audit.
HGV LGV training network members Big Wheelers were JAUPT inspected on the 18th February whilst running a Driver CPC approved, initial Lorry Loader Operator course. This 2 day course counts as 14 hours towards you’re drivers CPC qualification card. A useful course as you are, in essence gaining two qualifications at the same time (Lorry Loader and Driver CPC.)
JAUPT decided the audit would be based on course delivery as opposed to administration and the “practical” inspection lasted a total of 3 hours.
The JAUPT full audit summary is below.
“I observed this first session of a full day’s practical training on Lorry Loader Operating at the outside training area at Big Wheelers in Cardiff.
This area was quiet and undisturbed and provided plenty of space for the practical training to take place. I also inspected the classroom facility in which the previous evening’s theory training had taken place and this was conducive to learning, with all required facilities available.
The training was delivered in a very competent and professional manner by a knowledgeable trainer. He used questions well to involve both drivers and during the practical activities ensured that both were fully engaged in the learning process.
He started the session by reviewing the theory learnt the day before and then carried out a very clear and detailed demonstration of operating the lorry loader before the delegates took part in guided practical operations.
At all times throughout these activities he ensured that safe practices were maintained. Overall this Driver CPC Periodic Training session was delivered to a very good standard”.
Well done to Derek Massey and his team of friendly staff.
It’s always nice (for a training provider) to have an independent verifier confirm that the training being delivered is professional and to a high standard. And this audit report does just that.
It’s also good news to anyone considering undergoing training and is thinking of using Big Wheelers. A report like this will give confidence and trust that Big Wheelers will help you achieve your goals
Big Wheelers have also posted a YouTube video to give a better idea of their Lorry Loader training courses.
