About the Earned Recognition Scheme Audit

Earned Recognition
The Earned Recognition Scheme is a voluntary programme operated by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA). Operators that consistently meet high standards in vehicle maintenance, driver hours and compliance can apply for membership, benefit from fewer inspections and demonstrate their operational excellence.

Our Earned Recognition Audit helps you prepare for the application process or review your eligibility. We assess your systems, performance data and documentation, and provide a detailed report highlighting strengths and areas for improvement.

Who Should Use the Earned Recognition Audit

The audit is tailored for:
  • Operators seeking to join the Earned Recognition Scheme and need a preparatory audit.
  • Current scheme members requiring periodic auditing or module additions.
  • Businesses that want to protect their operator licence by demonstrating high compliance standards.
If your operation values fewer inspections, stronger systems and market differentiation then this audit supports those goals.
