FORS Professional Safe Driving Course – Immersive VR Driver Training (7 Hours, Driver CPC)
Experience the thrill of virtual reality while mastering essential safe driving techniques.
This enhanced FORS Professional Safe Driving Course with VR offers a modern, immersive approach to commercial driver development, helping drivers reduce work-related road risk and improve awareness of vulnerable road users across all UK road environments.

Delivered entirely in the classroom over 2 × 3.5-hour modules, the course combines trainer-led theory with immersive VR simulations to reinforce practical learning—without the logistics or risks of on-road activities.

📘 About the FORS Professional Safe Driving Suite
FORS Professional Safe Driving is a comprehensive training suite designed to help drivers reduce work-related road risk (WRRR) and improve safety standards for all vulnerable road users.
It meets the mandatory WRRR driver training requirement at FORS Silver, aligns fully with the DVSA Driver CPC syllabus, and applies to drivers of all vehicle types—HGV, LGV, PCV, and more.
🎮 Why Immersive VR?
This upgraded module features realistic, scenario-based simulations across:
- Urban streets
- Busy junctions
- Country roads
- Motorways
- Night-time and adverse-weather conditions
Participants experience situations from both driver and VRU viewpoints—something impossible in traditional training. This makes hazard perception, situational awareness, and risk management far more memorable and effective.

- Fleets aiming to meet FORS Silver WRRR requirements
- Drivers completing a 7-hour CPC qualification
