What advice do you have for someone considering obtaining the RLI qualification.
I’m one of a small group of RLI Examiners, who can now qualify other LGV Driver Instructors and Driver Trainer / Assessors. The RLI Examiner course was delivered by two supervisor Examiners and whilst it was a test of my skills, I gained additional knowledge and experience which can now be cascaded to my team of LGV Driving Instructors
