What This Course Covers

Brake test reports contain critical data. According to Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) guidance, the report is divided into: vehicle details; brake performance by axle; and a test summary.

This course teaches you how to go beyond pass or fail. You’ll learn how to read imbalance, ovality, maximum force and trigger values—and then apply this insight to reduce defects, downtime and compliance risk.

With operators facing greater scrutiny on brake performance and roadworthiness, this training ensures your team knows how to use test data to drive improvement, not just file it.

Who Should Attend This Course

Ideal for:
  • Fleet or maintenance managers responsible for analyzing brake test results.
  • Workshop supervisors and technicians who receive or act on brake test reports.
  • Transport managers overseeing compliance and fleet-risk related to braking systems.
If your operation uses roller brake testers, conducts brake efficiency checks, or needs to validate test-report data for audits, this course gives the skills to interpret and act.
