Are you a retailer selling or hiring powered wheelchairs or mobility scooters?
Driving Mobility provides free training, supported by the Department of Transport, that blends online learning with hands-on, in-person experience at Driving Mobility independent centres. Attendees consistently praise the practical approach, expert delivery, and the real-world benefits it brings to their advice and assessments. The benefits to retailers are:
- DfT-recognised accreditation – receive a professional certificate and an eye-catching window sticker to display your commitment to safe, responsible mobility provision.
- Clinically led expertise – acquire best practices for assessing customer needs, under the guidance of approved driving instructors and clinicians.
- Practical confidence – enhance staff skills in effectively matching equipment to the abilities of customers, thereby minimising safety risks.
- Stronger partnerships – build direct links with Driving Mobility centres for referrals and professional support.
- Customer reassurance – foster trust by demonstrating that your service is independently recognised for its quality and safety standards.
