LGV/HGV Driver Mentor Training
Pairing newly recruited drivers with experienced, well-trained mentors will help companies to improve safety, compliance, and communication. That’s why this LGV/HGV Mentor training course provides candidates with the necessary skills and knowledge to mentor and support valuable LGV/HGV drivers. It will help heighten safety, as well as retain talent.
The LGV/HGV Driver Mentor course is based on the European Mentoring and Coaching Council’s (EMCC) competence framework. It is designed to help trained mentors to manage diversity, maintain boundaries, help mentees develop, and follow the law. The training covers active listening, questioning techniques, checking for understanding, and delivering quality feedback.
Becoming a Mentor is a vital step on the career pathway for LGV/HGV drivers, leading to roles such as an LGV Assessor and LGV Instructor. If you’re not ready to invest in Assessors or Instructors yet – an often significant commitment – starting with Mentors can provide valuable experience and insights, helping you assess the potential for further qualifications down the line.
By the end of the LGV/HGV Driver Mentor course candidates will be able to:
- Accelerate driver development
- Provide guidance that supports regulatory compliance
- Improve driver retention by offering encouragement and advice
- Assist new drivers with problem-solving
All candidates must successfully complete an independent examination to qualify as an RTITB LGV Driver Mentor – an internationally recognised standard.
The LGV/HGV Driver Mentor course is suitable for candidates who:
- Have experience as professional LGV/HGV drivers
- Have a passion for supporting driver wellbeing
- Have good communication and listening skills
- Are approachable and compassionate
