These two hour training sessions have been designed to be of use to both drivers' who are already using a digital tachograph fitted vehicle, as well as those who have not yet used a vehicle fitted with the new equipment, or 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 vehicle unit - Siemens, Stoneridge and Actia.
• The do's and dont's of using the digital tachograph, including manual data input.
