UK Tachograph Manual Entry Training
VDO have created a tachograph manual entry training course on their eLearning platform in order to support both drivers and Fleets with the important and challenging topic.
The course is designed to go through what a manual entry is, the main key considerations based on what issues different Fleets are facing, the different modes available and the process of completing manual entries on digital/smart tachographs.
The course is great for new and occasional drivers, but can also act as a refresher for more experienced regular drivers or where additional training may be required. The course contains a small test to make sure the content was understood by the candidates, and then on successful completion, a certificate is generated.
The course can be used as a prerequisite to practising tachograph manual entries on VDO's online tachograph simulator, installing the basic knowledge and understanding beforehand.

The ‘UK Driver Manual Entry’ course is the training that you will want, but you will also see other courses which are allocated automatically and free for you to complete, such as those on the new features and operation of the smart tachograph version 2.
This course will be allocated to the email address linked to the account where the purchase is made. Please only purchase this course once. If purchasing on behalf of someone else, please contact VDO directly. If multiple purchases need to be made for multiple drivers, the drivers will need an individual email address and this will need to be communicated to the VDO team with all relevant first names and surnames in order to get them regsitered and the course allocated correctly. It may take upto 72 hours for the paid course to reach your dashboard. Please contact the VDO team should you have any questions or trouble accessing the course and/or platform.
