Every driver who gets behind the wheel of a company vehicle is responsible not only for their own safety, but also for the safety of others on the road. Professional driver training – known in the Czech Republic as “referent driver” training – is a mandatory part of preparing employees who drive company vehicles. At Rescue Group we offer comprehensive training developed in cooperation with the Police of the Czech Republic that helps drivers meet legal requirements, prevent accidents and handle emergencies professionally.
What professional driver training is
Company driver training is mandatory by law for all employees who drive business or company vehicles. This type of training does not focus on driving technique, but on understanding the legal and safety aspects of operating a vehicle. The aim is to make sure drivers are prepared for real situations on the road and minimise the risk of accidents. At Rescue Group we draw on many years of experience and cooperation with the traffic department of the Czech Police, which makes our training high-quality and practical.
Under Czech legislation, the employer must provide training for all drivers who use company vehicles. The frequency of training is flexible – it can be set at six months, a year or up to three years, depending on the company’s internal needs. This allows the training to be tailored to the specific requirements of your business. Our training includes not only the mandatory elements, but also practical guidance that raises awareness of safety and efficiency.
What company driver training covers
Legal obligations
The main aim of the programme is to familiarise drivers with the legislation relating to operating a company vehicle. We guide you through the key aspects of Czech legislation, including the driver’s obligations in the event of an accident. We teach you how to fill in the European accident statement correctly, so that insurance claims can be settled smoothly. This emphasis on legal awareness helps drivers avoid unnecessary mistakes and penalties.
Practical skills
Besides the legislation, driver training focuses on practical skills that increase road safety. Drivers learn how to respond to emergencies such as minor vehicle damage or collisions. It also covers the right procedure for communicating with the police and the insurer. Our teaching includes real scenarios that prepare employees for unexpected situations, reducing the risk of confusion or wrong decisions.
Accident prevention
Prevention is another key element. We focus on how drivers can actively prevent accidents through safe behaviour behind the wheel. This includes planning routes properly, following the rules and recognising potential risks on the road. We put the emphasis on building a responsible attitude that protects not only the driver, but also other road users.
Why driver training matters
Company driver training directly contributes to greater safety at work and on the road. Well-prepared drivers are less prone to accidents, which reduces the risk of injury, damage to property and financial losses. Our training helps companies meet their occupational health and safety obligations while increasing employees’ confidence in their ability to handle difficult situations.
Regular driver training ensures that your company meets all legal requirements. Failing to meet these obligations can lead to fines or complications with insurance claims. We will help you stay compliant and give you the tools to manage the risks of operating company vehicles effectively.
Training not only increases safety, but also your employees’ professionalism. Drivers who complete our training are more confident in dealing with the administrative and practical aspects of driving. This improves their performance and strengthens your company’s image as a responsible employer. Thanks to our cooperation with the Czech Police, we bring expert know-how to the training that is unique on the market.
How training with Rescue Group works
Rescue Group provides company driver training carefully tailored to your company’s needs. The frequency of the course can be set according to the size of your fleet, from regular six-monthly sessions to three-year cycles. The training combines theory with practical exercises in an interactive format, so that drivers gain the confidence and skills they need to handle situations on the road safely.
Cooperation with the Czech Police
Cooperation with the traffic department of the Police of the Czech Republic ensures a high level of expertise. This approach allows us to include up-to-date information on traffic regulations and recommended procedures. Participants receive practical materials that make it easier to find their way around their administrative obligations and help them deal effectively with situations related to operating company vehicles.
Practical demonstrations
The training includes simulations of real traffic situations that drivers may encounter. It focuses on the correct procedures for dealing with minor collisions and administrative obligations, such as communicating with the authorities. This approach strengthens drivers’ ability to respond quickly and professionally, making them better prepared for unexpected events on the road.

How training contributes to company culture
Regular driver training with Rescue Group makes a significant contribution to a company culture focused on safety and professional responsibility. Through the training, employees better understand the value of a proactive approach to driving and gain the skills for sensible decision-making on the road. This builds their confidence and supports teamwork, as they realise that their safe behaviour contributes to the well-being of the whole company.
The result is greater engagement and a stronger bond between employees and employer. Investing in training also brings financial benefits, as trained drivers cause accidents less often, reducing the costs of vehicle repairs and insurance claims. This makes fleet management more efficient and improves overall operating economy, allowing companies to allocate resources to further development.
