So what does your company do?

But that’s not all we offer. We are a one-stop-shop for a broad range of logistics training, including Driver CPC, ADR and transport management courses for your up and coming members of staff.

Through our Apprenticeship programmes, we aim to help companies grow their own talent to drive their businesses forward.

Our trainers have worked in the industry before joining TIR, giving them an excellent understanding of your needs.

Over the years, we have invested heavily in our driving school with its spacious, well-equipped classrooms and modern fleet of vehicles.

TIR is also one of the country’s leading providers of simulator-based training, offering a safe and flexible way to improve your drivers’ skills.

LGV licences

The shortage of lorry drivers threatens to put the brake on the UK economy.Through our driving school, we can help you train new drivers, upgrade current licences and take drivers from your warehouse and put them behind the wheel of a lorry.

Our experienced trainers can help your drivers pass their B+E, Cat C and Cat C+E test.

Not only will we help them pass their test but, more importantly, we’ll teach them to become a safe, professional driver.

Our pass rate for first-time drivers is consistently above the national average.

All our trainers have worked in the industry, so they have first-hand experience of what your drivers are going through.

At TIR, we believe in teaching people to drive to an exceptionally high standard. We want to ensure that when your drivers take to the road, they are fully equipped to handle your fleet safely and efficiently.

We recommend that all our customers undertake a driver assessment before they start their lessons. The assessment is optional but it allows our trainers to accurately evaluate the number of lessons needed before they take their test.

For the training, we use full-sized, loaded vehicles. We can also look after all the small details such as booking medicals and organising theory tests.


“Dennis Distribution LLP chose TIR because they offer the best training for the best price and service required for our business. They have been flexible and professional during our training courses. The training has helped our business by keeping overheads low, and the training for the transport business up to date, especially with European legislation changing. We recommend TIR for transport training services.

Driver CPC±

“When we embarked on the introduction of a corporate Driver CPC program we faced many challenges both in planning and implementation. TIR’s knowledge and experience in the training field proved invaluable to get this program off the ground. We view our relationship as a partnership with common goals and every year we streamline the administration burden so that we can all concentrate fully on the most important thing, which is the content and quality of the training provided. TIR have proved to be a leader in this particular field and I would recommend them to any business looking to roll out similar in-house programs.

Richard Ball, Head of Transport Clipper Logistics Group Limited

ADR

When it comes to transporting dangerous goods, you can be assured that TIR will prepare your staff to meet strict UK and European legislation.This course can count towards 28 hours Driver CPC with tanks and 21 hours without tanks.

And we offer online exams for all our ADR courses, so drivers get their results at the end of the course rather than having to wait 20 working days.

Courses are available throughout the year and can be arranged around your business requirements, helping to minimise disruption.

Covering the vast majority of dangerous goods transportation, we offer:

First Aid

As a responsible employer, you try to avoid accidents at all costs. But if they do occur, it’s essential to have staff who are trained in first aid.We offer courses that cover basic first aid knowledge to the skills required of a nominated company first aid representative.

An Emergency First Aid at Work course can be completed in just one day and is ideal for people working in a low-risk business environment.

Our First Aid at Work course, certified by the First Aid Awards, is held over three days and is ideal for people filling the role of recommended first-aider at their business.

Giving a wide-ranging understanding of first aid and illnesses, it prepares them to be the informed decision maker when first aid is needed.

Delivered by qualified trainers, courses are available throughout the year and can be arranged at short notice.



Our Fire Awareness course makes staff aware of fire dangers and how to avoid fires before they happen. This course is useful for all companies and not only those involved in handling, storing and moving highly-flammable goods.

Our Fire Marshall course is aimed at those with overall responsibility for overseeing the response to a fire alarm. Training will last approximately 8 hours and will equip the trainee to lead the response in an emergency situation involving fire.

Everyone who attends gets the chance to use a fire extinguisher in a practical exercise.

All Fire Safety courses are available throughout the year, and can be carried out on site at your own business premises, on demand.

For all businesses, a safe working environment is essential – with clear fire safety training for employees required by law.TIR Training provides three courses related to fire safety, from basic advice on how to react in the event of a fire, to extinguisher operation and acting as a nominated fire marshall.

Nearly all premises have a fire extinguisher but how many of your staff actually knows how to use one?

Our Fire Extinguisher course can be completed in half a day and will teach your employees how to operate a variety of extinguishers used in business premises. Often a course used by warehouse operators but applicable to most businesses, it ensures a good basic understanding of how to tackle a fire across a business, at all levels.

Novices are put through four days of practical training before taking their test.

Courses can be delivered at our training centre or your premises, at times which suit your working demands, helping reduce the disruption to your day-to-day business.

All of our trainers are RTITB accredited instructors, with experience of working and operating forklift trucks in busy and demanding environments.

All trainees are taught on the counterbalance commonly used in most warehouse operations, although courses can be adapted to train on reach forklifts if required.

Courses are available on request throughout the year.

Our mobile simulator enables us to replicate almost any environment or scenario.

We’ll devise a programme to meet your requirements, delivered by trainers who have the knowledge and experience of handling LGVs in challenging conditions.

Drivers who have used our simulator have been impressed by how realistic it feels.

Training in the simulator is available all year round. We can also bring the simulator to your business so your staff can practise their driving skills without having to leave the company premises.

Bespoke courses can be developed at any length, starting at just two hours. They can also count towards Driver CPC if part of a full seven-hour training session.

Our investment in the latest technology allows your drivers to improve their skills without having to go on the road!TIR is one of the UK’s leading providers of simulator-based driver training.

We have worked alongside some of the biggest names in the industry to develop courses addressing repeat problem areas, including driver awareness, fuel efficiency, accident reduction and rollover awareness.

Simulator-based driver training is also an affordable way to train drivers to deal with extreme situations, including tyre blowout, brake failure and winter driving conditions.

It can also be used to make drivers aware of the dangers of driving whilst fatigued or distracted.
