Driver compliance training
Driver compliance training for UK fleet leads
Driver compliance training on this page is a reading list for UK fleet leads, not a certified course. Zerity does not issue a qualification from here. Each topic explains a duty. The software then stores the file after someone has done the check.
No taught module is running
There is no classroom date, no certificate and no enrolment. A module will be listed here only when it has an owner, a duration and a syllabus. Until then, use the written guidance below. The compliance library holds the DVLA, DVSA and HMRC reference pages. Durable guides and calculators are indexed on the Zerity learning centre.
Topics a fleet lead should read
| Topic | The duty | Where to read it | What Zerity stores |
|---|---|---|---|
| Right to work | If the person is your employee, follow the Home Office check before they start. If they are self-employed, read the Home Office employer guide and the carrier contract before you treat the check as optional. | Home Office right to work checks: employer's guide and right-to-work checks for self-employed couriers. | Zerity stores the right to work record, the date it was checked and the expiry. |
| Licence check code | Ask the driver for a DVLA check code and view the licence, the categories and the endorsements on GOV.UK. File what you saw and when it expires. | View or share your driving licence information on GOV.UK, and what to record on a driver licence check. | Zerity stores the licence record, the date it was checked and the expiry. Track every expiry date in one place. |
| Van walkaround | DVSA expects a walkaround check before the van is used. Record defects, including a nil defect when you find none. | Carry out van daily walkaround checks (DVSA, GOV.UK) and vehicle inspections. | The inspection record the driver submits. The check itself is still done at the van. |
| Self-billing records | HMRC's VAT self-billing guidance explains when the customer raises the supplier's invoice, and that the arrangement needs a self-billing agreement. | VAT: self-billing arrangements (HMRC, GOV.UK) and self-billing in Zerity. | The agreement, the rate and the pay run. It does not replace the HMRC conditions. |
