ABOUT THIS COURSE
Incorporating the best of our Level 1 and Level 2 defensive driver courses, our platinum defensive driver course will see your workforce immersed in the best driver training has to offer! Delivered on-road in everyday traffic conditions and off-road at one of Australia’s truly unique driver training and vehicle testing facilities, this course is designed to be a game changer for your fleet.
This course is for any organisation with a strong drive towards road safety. Designed with a variety of measurable and achievable outcomes and to deliver on:
- Getting your workforce home safely.
- Reducing your fleet operating costs with an aim of reducing fuel & servicing costs and increasing the longevity of fleet vehicles.
- Reducing your insurance risks, annual premiums, and liability.
- Reducing your organisation’s OHS risk profile with regard to fleet vehicles and drivers
- Assisting those privileged enough to have a company vehicle in understanding their part in your organisation’s risk management process.
- Assisting your drivers in understanding their own driver psychology and the psychology of other drivers they share the road with.
Searching for a genuine defensive driver course with real outcomes that are beneficial to your business can be confusing and stressful. Unfortunately, choosing the wrong course, for example, a course that focuses on pumping up a person’s beliefs in their own driving ability, has been proven to raise your organisation’s crash risk profile instead of reducing it.
This defensive driving course offers unique driving experiences and insights into driver psychology by simulating several road conditions such as water-logged roads, ice-road simulation, low grip roads, water crossings, gradient hill climbs and descents, moguls, gravel roads, and high-speed zones.
With driver assessments conducted before and after training, including a final on-road driving assessment, you will provide your employees and your business with a true reflection of both driver and vehicle characteristics and range of abilities. You will also have provided your fleet with the ability to reflect on their attitude towards driving and sharing the road with others. As an added bonus, you will have reinforced your organisation’s requirement to maintain a safe workplace for your employees.
COURSES ARE CONDUCTED EVERY MONTH AND ON REQUEST FOR CORPORATE GROUPS.

Did you know!
No matter how ambitious your life goals are, the moment you are involved in a serious road trauma crash, your life will never be the same. Studies have proven people involved in serious road trauma crashes are more susceptible to loss of employment. On average, these people remain unemployed for 12 months longer, and when they finally do return to work, they return to work on reduced wages, reduced job functions and experience a life-long reduction in income.
Reducing your chance of traffic fines, maintaining your demerit points and enjoying reduced vehicle operating costs make a lot of financial sense. Learning proven, proactive driving systems and techniques that reduce your chance of a crash is a sensible investment in yourself or in a loved one. For Melbourne’s top defensive driving course, get in touch with Intelligent Training Solutions.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
Here are a few of our most frequently asked questions on this course; please click on any questions below to expand the content.
WHY IS THIS COURSE RIGHT FOR ME?
Driven by research and our unique industry experience, your course will include:
- The emerging importance of driver psychology
- The latest information on driver distraction
- The connection of ECO driving and reduced crash rates
- The latest information on fatigue management
- Road rule updates
- Defensive and best practice driving strategies
Governed by quality outcomes and the safety of our students. You will benefit from our 1-to-1 in-vehicle trainer-to-student ratio. It will be just you and your trainer. Your training will be safer and more effective because your trainer will be sitting beside you!
Many traditionally delivered defensive driving courses have one trainer, on a whistle, 50 meters down the road and you, on your own, in a conga line of cars, with more time spent sitting and waiting for your short attempt at a driving exercise. That approach is not associated with best practice education.
WHAT MAKES INTELLIGENT TRAINING SOLUTIONS DIFFERENT?
Many defensive driving schools throughout Australia are conducted by small businesses or driving schools that provide you with a value-added service. Their claim that an on-road course is better than an off-road course or vice versa is generally based on their business infrastructure, skills, knowledge, and abilities. The fact is that both types of courses, on-road and off-road, have an educational value and the determination on which course is right for you depends on your circumstances and individual requirements.
With over 25 years in the road transport driver training industry, Intelligent Training Solutions is one of the few course providers that is accredited as a Registered Training Organisation (RTO). All our professionally qualified instructors all hold a current vocational education and training/teaching qualification as well as specific Certificate IV in Transport & Logistics (Road Transport) driver trainer qualifications. Best of all, we deliver defensive driver courses to suit all needs ranging from one-on-one (on-road) courses to traditional on-track courses.
