The two members of the SharpDrive Board of Directors share their thoughts on their online driver training programme, and give some more insight on how companies can use their services.

Dick Brunton is the founder of Colmar Brunton Research, New Zealand’s best-known market research company, which he jointly founded 30 years ago. Dick has a degree in electrical engineering, is a member of the NZ Marketing Hall of Fame and a Life member of the Market Research Society of NZ. Dick’s role in SharpDrive is as business and marketing advisor.

"I found the course surprisingly good. For example, I used to drive a lot on auto-pilot, with my head somewhere else. And I didn’t think much about what I put on the back seat, not realising it could become a missile If I had to brake suddenly. The course has definitely made me a better driver, even after 45 years of driving.”

Ryan Balemi is the founder of leading IT service provider Pulse IT, and brings a wealth of technical knowledge to support the delivery of the SharpDrive e-learning platform, specifically around successful cloud based IT delivery. 

“During my five years in the volunteer fire service I recall the adrenalin that would come when I heard the siren go up and the pager go off. The excitement of what the next call-out might be. But when that message came through “MVA (Motor Vehicle Accident), persons trapped”, the entire tone of the crew changed. Whilst we would always step-up and perform to our utmost, it was never a call-out that we wanted to attend. Reducing the number of times the pager says “MVA” is going to be a great thing for NZ, and I’m excited to be at the forefront of this undertaking”.

With SharpDrive’s customised branding option you are provided the opportunity to brand the e-learning portal with your own company logo, as well as your very own customised welcome video which will be a central feature staff will see as soon as they login. Pricing for this option is $1,500 +GST* (*client to provide own video). 

As an example of  how a video message for your staff could be used, this could be a video of your CEO or Health & Safety Manager advocating your organisation’s Health & Safety polices, as well as any other information you wish to share with staff prior to their starting the driver training course.
