Choose from On-Bike or Virtual Reality training!
All FORS Safe Driving courses are in two segments – a theory and a practical part. The theory part will always be in a classroom with other professional drivers. For the practical, you now have the choice of real-world on-bike training or an innovative new VR option. Find out more below.
When you take the two 3.5 hour segments together, this will constitute a full day of Driver CPC training.

What’s right for me – On-Bike or VR?
There is no difference in qualification if you complete either Safe Driving training option. On-Bike takes place on physical bikes in a real-world setting near to the training classroom. On a VR course, the ‘on-bike’ element is completed using virtual reality headsets, and delegates remain in the classroom for the whole course. This may offer greater convenience and flexibility of locations.
The immersive nature of virtual reality creates genuine emotional responses and muscle memory that traditional classroom training cannot match. Drivers experience realistic road scenarios, hazard recognition challenges, and decision-making situations in a safe environment where mistakes become valuable learning opportunities.
