Developing Expert Drivers

BluSkills security chauffeurs are highly proficient in a number of skills which combine together in our security chauffeur service.

The core skill of any chauffeur should be driving, closely followed by customer service. You may not know, but there is no requirement for a chauffeur or security chauffeur to be an advanced driver. In fact to become a licensed chauffeur, a local authority will conduct some basic background checks and conduct a basic driving assessment, the same as those to become a taxi driver. A lot of the time, you’re getting a taxi driver, better dressed, with a nice car.

Of course some chauffeurs personally invest in advanced training or come from an advanced driver training background such as the Police.

At BluSkills we believe you should be certain when you use our security chauffeur service that you are getting an expert, advanced driver, whose primary focus is to ensure you reach your destination safely. Our security chauffeur’s are all advanced drivers. There are many routes to becoming an advanced driver, all aimed at producing a more aware, better and safer driver, these can include the Police, the institute of advanced motorists and RoSPA.


Obtaining an advanced driving qualification is just the start of the investment in driver training. 

The UK experiences a variety of weather and road conditions it is important that a driver has a thorough understanding of skidding, so they can safely control a vehicle should the conditions or an external factor initiate a skid. All our security chauffeurs complete skid control training to develop this skill and their knowledge.


One of the benefits of using a chauffeur is the ability for our clients to turn their dead time in to productive time. To facilitate this we must put the customer at ease and give them the smoothest, most comfortable journey. To ensure we do this at BluSkills, we run our own internal chauffeur course. This course not only ensures our security chauffeurs understand and develop the roles and responsibilities associated with chauffeuring, vehicle administration, service, door interaction, but it is heavily focussed on ensuring client comfort while driving, a much overlooked part of other driver training.


As our security chauffeurs move through their career with us they conduct regular training and CPD. One of the advanced learning topics is evasive driving, you can find more about evasive driving here. While this can include manoeuvres such as handbrake turns and J-turns, at the core of evasive driving is the principal of identifying threats early and taking appropriate action.

This skill doesn’t just apply to hostile environments, but applies in everyday driving, where other road users or pedestrians may conduct unpredictable movements or actions which could lead to an accident or collision.
