FORS Master Plan - Road Skills

The FORS MasterPlan — your success guarantee

We’ve called it the FORS Master Plan because we recognise that achieving and maintaining FORS accreditation is about much more than just getting through your audits unscathed. You want to manage your fleet and your people to the highest standards, and we’re here to help you make excellence your yardstick and compliance a formality through our unique package of integrated tools.

How can we make that guarantee?

Because when the Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme was launched in 2008 — initially just in London — Road Skills was one of the first to become a FORS associate and we have been closely involved with the scheme’s evolution ever since.

We share the FORS vision of an industry driven by the highest road safety standards, and we are proud to be known as ‘the FORS experts’.

As a bonus, when you make a selection from the FORS MasterPlan suite, you’ll be invited to join our exclusive LinkedIn FORS MasterPlan group where you can share ideas with us and other leading road safety authorities.

Let’s start you on your FORS MasterPlan journey…

FORS Bronze

Whether you’re going after FORS Bronze to win a contract or because you can see the wider benefits, you face the same journey to your first audit. And it’s the same when you’re counting down to for your next audit. The latest version of the standard has moved quite a few goalposts and it’s frankly a bit of nightmare! But follow the Road Skills FORS PASS route to audit and you’re guaranteed accreditation.

FORS Silver

You’re already at FORS Bronze level and you want to raise your game.

The jump to Silver is not huge but you will need to keep additional records and ensures you have more Kit fit to your vehicles so take the leap to FORS Silver with the Road Skills packages and you are ideally placed by using the FORS Online service which is powered by Fleetcheck …

FORS Gold

Going for Gold shows that yours is a business committed to attaining the very highest standards, and as the FORS experts, the Road Skills team will ensure you cross the finish line. Whatever the project you choose to demonstrate your FORS Gold eligibility, we’ll be at your side to help — every step of the way

Driver CPC Training

Achieving FORS status is not just about systems and processes — you need your drivers on side too. With the introduction of the Professional Development Plan for drivers in D4 we have brought the Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (DCPC) under our FORS MasterPlan umbrella so that you are ticking two boxes at the same time

Licence Checking

Staying on top of driver licence checks — an essential FORS element — can become a real headache if you take your eye off the ball. That’s why Road Skills has partnered with FleetCheck, one of the UK’s leading providers of secure DVLA driver licence checking, to help you manage this labour-intensive, time-consuming and tedious yet essential task.

“I liked the look and feel of the Admin dashboard of the Professional Development Plan online training, it was very easy to see how the training was progressing. The training is delivered in an easy to understand step by step process.
This online training solution is a great way to deliver our continued professional development plan training.”

Chris Wells, Director
Mtec Warehousing Ltd

“Thank you for all your help during the FORS PASS Plus visit. Our advisor was amazing she helped me fill the gaps in my preparation work.

I am now confident that we will pass our FORS Bronze audit.”

Samantha Philpot, Health & Safety Advisor
Metro Traffic Services Ltd

"We are delighted with the service we received from Road Skills. The advisors were very informative and helped us ensure that everything flowed really well. The FORS auditor said he was over the moon with the level of work that has been done — it was one of the best audits he had ever completed."

Vicky Grant, Company Secretary
Grant Construction

"I want to thank you for the time and support you gave us throughout the FORS Bronze process — we couldn’t have done it without you! I feel happy and confident that we now have all the tools in place to consistently manage our drivers and vehicles. You have been fantastic!"

Grace Barker,
Nationwide Traffic Solutions Ltd

"Thank your for our help and encouragement in helping us pass our FORS Bronze accreditation. Our audit went well, but on the morning we had the added bonus of an auditor coming to audit the auditor! He was very charming and extremely pleased with our business set-up."

Russell Holden, Director
J&R Holden

"We passed our FORS Bronze audit again at V4.1and we’re now embracing the standard, with more streamlined processes and policies in place. We’ve increased our O Licence to go from 12 to 13 vehicles, we’re educating our team to become better drivers, and we’re thinking of going for Silver."

Russell Holden, Director,
J&R Holden

"We could not have got to Bronze Audit standard without the Road Skills FORS PASS Manual — the move from FORS Standard Version 3.3 to 4.0 has been really challenging. Our FORS auditor told us we were now ready to move forward to Silver, and we are planning to work with Road Skills to achieve this."

Jess Kaur, Owner,
R&S Transport (Sandwell) Ltd

"We give Road Skills 10 out of 10 for service — the FORS PASS Manual has everything we need to make sure we will pass. We cannot think of anything they could have done better to get us on the right track and would definitely recommend others looking to gain FORS Bronze to book the Road Skills FORS PASS Fastrak Service. It’s the best!"

Steve Lomas, Director,
JLF Moving Solutions

"We passed with Flying Colours as a result of the work we did using the FORS PASS Manual with the FORS advisor support. Having attained our FORS Bronze we will be able to continue to tender for work where this is required as a standard, getting us onto many sites in London."

Glen Jones, Managing Director,
GS Foam Concrete

THE FORS PASS Manual is easy to use. It worked, it's an invaluable tool for achieving FORS Bronze and value for money.

Peter Donkin, Sole Operator ,
Donkins Transport Services Ltd

Road Skills are so professional.

Your manual and update services let me concentrate on running my business instead of getting stressed with admin.The Professional Development plan online training is also brilliant – it gives everyone enough time to let the learning points sink in and it’s so easy to use.

When it comes to passing FORS, I simply would not take on the preparation without you.
