Motorwise is an exciting course which has been developed with the aim of helping young people reach the age of 17 with a clean driving license and to survive beyond the age of 22 free from injuries caused by motor related incidents.
Its main objectives are to:
- Reduce the number of young drivers involved in traffic related incidents
- Raise the awareness of the hazards facing new drivers
- Raise the understanding of the legal requirements when using a motor vehicle
- Improve the knowledge of young drivers when purchasing a second-hand vehicle
If you are interested in motor vehicles and road safety, then this programme is for you.
The Motorwise course has five workshops:
- Road safety - how to stay alive on the road
- Buying a second-hand car
- First at the scene of a crash – how to save a life
- Streetwise - how to survive a year of motoring
- Driving – driving real cars
This four day course is very intensive. It aims to equip the participants with the necessary skills to carry out safe, prompt and effective first aid within the workplace. The course culminates in an approved examination paper followed by a three stage practical assessment.
All successful participants will receive an approved Health and Safety Executive (HSE) First Aid at Work certificate, which is valid for three years.
