Digital tachograph training for drivers

This training is presented in-house to client companies.

Delegates are provided with all the information they need to confidently operate any of the three types of digital tachograph vehicle unit presently available. Delegates also have plenty of opportunity to ask as many questions as they like. 

Everyone goes away with a copy of the 50+ page Tachomaster 'Drivers' Guide to the Digital Tachograph' and an in-cab 'EC Drivers' Hours/Speed Limits' reminder sheet, as well as two certificates of completion and attendance - one for the driver/delegate and one for the employer, to be placed in the drivers' company training file.

These two hour training sessions have been designed to be of use to both drivers' who are already using a vehicle fitted with a digital tachograph vehicle unit, as well as those who have not yet used a vehicle fitted with the new type of recording equipment, or haven't even applied for a driver card.

What is covered?

• Why the change from analogue to digital recording equipment?
• When and how to apply for a driver card.
• The basics of the three available vehicle units - CAG/VDO DTCO 1381, Stoneridge SE5000 and the Actia SmartTach.
• The do's and dont's of using a digital tachograph.
• Adding manual entries in the correct way.
• When to printout and why. What to do with the printouts.
• Downloading the data from the driver card - whose responsibility is it?
• General digital tachograph maintenance   - including replacing the print roll and changing the local time readout.
• A brief update on the the EU Drivers' Hours (EC 561/2006) changes that have been introduced since May 2006.
• Any questions?

We provide electronic simulators to delegates on site to enable anyone to 'try out' using digital tachograph vehicle units, plus demonstration DVD's covering the correct operation of all available digital tachograph vehicle units - who else offers you so much for so little? 

We provide in-house courses throughout the year at a location of your own choice and at a date/time to suit your organisation, including evenings and Saturdays.  e-mail: training@truckuk.net  for more information, with no obligation to go any further if you do not wish to.
