Trainers from Go North East have completed training with National Express, allowing them to be fully compliant with the coach company’s recently-introduced driver evaluation process.
As the first partner operator to fully complete the training programme, the instructors from the Go North East Training Academy can now ensure each and every driver under their guidance is fully-up-to-speed on the responsibilities and standards expected of them while operating within the National Express network.
Taking place over six weeks, the training saw the instructors completing a RoSPA (the Royal Society for the Protection of Accidents) accredited advanced training test together with four validation evaluations, an initial competence check, skills analysis and regular feedback. This allows them to be able to provide relevant and effective ongoing training and evaluation to new and existing drivers.
The training comes as National Express standardises its training across its worldwide operations.
