  • At loading/unloading locations and company gates
  • During police inspections and at border crossings
  • In workshops when reporting mechanical issues
  • When asking for directions or assistance
  • In hotels, restaurants, or fuel stations during transit

Insufficient knowledge of English often leads to misunderstandings, fines, missed deadlines, or even danger on the road.

The Globter English Course prepares candidates to:

It ensures that the driver is not only technically but also linguistically ready for employment in the EU.

Score 5 Excellent knowledge of general & job-specific English No course needed. Candidate is eligible to proceed directly to GCC certification.
