Practical, professional driver training tailored to your organisation, your vehicles and the conditions your people actually encounter.
From metropolitan roads to rural properties, unsealed roads and remote environments, Olsen’s Tours & Training provides workplace driver training designed to improve driver judgement, vehicle control, confidence and risk awareness.
Driving is one of the most common risks faced by employees who travel for work.
A licence demonstrates that someone has met the minimum standard required to drive. It does not necessarily mean they have the practical skills, judgement or experience needed for the conditions they encounter in their job.
Our corporate driver training focuses on practical skills that can help employees:
Our programs can be tailored for staff working across a wide range of industries and operating environments.
We have delivered driver training for corporate, government, research and field-based personnel, including agronomists and staff working in rural and operational environments.
There is little value in putting employees through generic driver training that bears no resemblance to the vehicles, roads or situations they encounter at work.
We can tailor training around your organisation’s operational requirements, employee experience levels and vehicle fleet.
Practical techniques for hazard recognition, observation, positioning, speed management and decision-making.
Vehicle control and risk management on gravel, loose surfaces and regional roads.
Practical four-wheel-drive skills for employees who need to operate vehicles beyond sealed-road environments.
Improve low-speed control, spatial awareness and vehicle placement.
Training for staff who are unfamiliar with larger vehicles, 4WDs or different fleet vehicles.
Driver and vehicle considerations for staff travelling beyond metropolitan areas and immediate support.
Our focus is not simply on completing a course.
The aim is to identify weaknesses, improve practical driving skills and give participants techniques they can use every time they get behind the wheel.
Training can include assessment of existing driving habits and practical coaching in areas such as:
Programs can be adapted to suit individual employees, small groups or larger organisational requirements.
Olsen’s Tours & Training has been delivering practical driver training since 2004.
Our experience includes training people who drive for work in corporate, government, agricultural, research and field environments.
We understand that workplace driver training has different objectives from recreational training. Employers need people who can operate vehicles competently, exercise sound judgement and manage risk when they are away from direct supervision.
Training has included professional and field personnel such as agronomists and research staff, including personnel at the CSIRO Cotton Research Centre.

We are not a Registered Training Organisation.
We have previously operated within an RTO structure, so we understand the requirements and limitations of nationally recognised training. Our current approach gives us greater flexibility to tailor programs around the actual vehicles, operating environments, risks and experience levels of each organisation. In our experience, this can deliver better practical outcomes for employers who have found that standardised training does not always address the specific needs of their people.
For organisations that do not require a nationally recognised competency, this allows us to concentrate on the practical skills, risks and operating conditions that are relevant to your employees.
Training content can be discussed with your organisation before delivery so that the program reflects your objectives.
The best place to start is with a conversation.

We can then discuss a program suited to your organisation rather than trying to force your employees into a standard recreational course.

If your employees drive as part of their work, we can help you develop practical training around the vehicles, conditions and risks they actually encounter.
