Popular training module adds more coaching features

Licence checking and fleet risk management provider Licence Check has celebrated record usage figures for its DAVIS (Driver and Vehicle Information Solution) platform by adding new features to the system’s coaching module.

The new functionality gives fleet managers greater insight into training course performance and strengths and weakness of drivers, at a time when the company’s figures show a 34% increase in drivers recorded on the system to more than 930,000 and the number of licences checked up by almost 20% to 1.41m in 2024.

Derby-based Licence Check, part of the Ebbon Group, launched the DAVIS Coaching dedicated driver app just over a year ago to provide targeted online training for company drivers.

The system has since gained more detailed dashboards which now show the average score and completion rate for each training module, highlighting those drivers which have been most proficient and those less so.

Additional reporting has also been incorporated to provide greater visibility of courses completed and the associated results, providing the ability to filter by driver type and course name.

Further enhancements are currently being worked on and will include the option for fleet and risk managers to trigger ad hoc courses for an individual, specific types of drivers or by department to provide a more tailored approach to driver training.

Licence Check figures show that the DAVIS Coaching has seen drivers in all categories answer more than 450,000 questions via the app, recording a ‘willingness to learn’ score of around 64%.

The best performing knowledge category in 2024 was ‘awareness’ while the question category answered incorrectly the most times was ‘speeding’.
