Driving Force Training Ltd has introduced the first curriculum-based BTEC in Driver and Road Safety Education. The course combines 40 hours of classroom time with 30 hours of in-car instruction on a 2:1 basis. It is based on the four levels of the European Goals for Driver Education matrix and leads to a Level 2 BTEC qualification. The course material covers topics from vehicle construction to reasons for travel and is being piloted at Nailsea School with plans to expand to other schools in the South West.
