FORS Accreditation.
Meet your requirements with ease.

FORS Standards D4, S5 and G5 all require an ongoing programme of professional development for drivers and transport staff. The Professional Development Plan (PDP) is mapped to those requirements - delivering the training, tracking completion and storing the evidence you need for audit, automatically.

What your FORS auditor needs to see

FORS Standards D4, S5 and G5 all require an ongoing programme of professional development for drivers. It’s not a one-off requirement – it needs to be evidenced consistently, year on year.

D4 is one of the most common reasons for FORS audit failure. Having a structured, documented Professional Development Plan in place, with clear evidence of completion across your driver base, is what auditors need to see.

What FORS accreditation means for your operation

FORS accreditation opens doors and maintaining it means having the evidence to back it up.

  • Contract and tender eligibility
  • Industry standing and recognition
  • Audit readiness throughout the year
  • Continuous improvement progression
  • Client and partner confidence

The Professional Development Plan gives you the structure and evidence to maintain your accreditation and the business opportunities that come with it.

Mapped to D4, S5 and G5

The Professional Development Plan has been developed by industry specialists with input from FORS risk advisors, ensuring the content is relevant, accurate and aligned to what auditors expect to see.

FORS D4, S5 and G5 requirements

The Professional Development Plan satisfies the professional development element of your FORS audit.

Automatic training records and certificates

Every completed Toolbox Talk generates a personalised certificate and updates the driver's record automatically.

Dashboard evidence

Show auditors a clear, real-time view of completion across your entire driver base.

Consistent, ongoing development

Monthly Toolbox Talks mean your drivers are continuously developing, not just ticking a box once a year.

Trusted by Fleet Operators

There are no negatives, especially as it helps us to meet the requirements of the FORS Bronze and Silver PDP standards and makes it really easy for us to evidence that as well. Overall, it's a brilliant system.
Jax Mcdermott - Sussex Transport
It's been so easy to implement and saves me a lot of time and hassle. It was great at the FORS Bronze audit, as we used the Admin Dashboard as our evidence for the continuous part of our D4 Professional Development Plan.
Kelly Roberts - Gramm Barrier Systems
The Road Skills Online Professional Development Plan is easy to manage, track my learners and get reports. For the money, it is a business must-have if you are FORS accredited.
Robin Wells - Direct Chemicals
We want to be able to pass FORS every time that it's required – I need that certificate to be able to bid for work.
Mark Pickering - J Hopkins Contractors
The Professional Development Plan online training is brilliant - it gives everyone enough time to let the learning points sink in and it's so easy to use. I can't imagine not relying on Road Skills Online’s services to maintain our FORS and highly recommend them to other companies.
Carl Roberts - George Roberts & Son
This e-learning solution is a great way to deliver our continued professional development plan training. It's saving me so much time and hassle. It's an efficient and consistent way to deliver our continuous PDP TBTs and our drivers like it.
