Mobility Training
Even with advanced vehicle technology, the person behind the wheel still makes the biggest difference to road safety. At Dubai Mobility Lab, developed in partnership with RTA, DEKRA offers practical mobility training for individual drivers, corporate fleets, transport operators and testing professionals. Our programmes combine expert-led theory with hands-on exercises on a controlled test track, so participants can safely experience critical situations and learn how to handle them. Whether the vehicle is a car, motorcycle, bus, truck, electric vehicle or autonomous vehicle, we help drivers build the skills and confidence to stay safe on the road.
Driver Safety Training
Practical, hands-on training that helps drivers recognize hazards early and respond confidently in critical situations.
Most road accidents involve human error, and many could be avoided with the right skills and awareness. Our driver safety training combines short theory sessions with practical exercises on the test track. Topics include emergency braking, obstacle avoidance, skid control, correct seating and steering technique, and hazard perception. Participants experience the limits of their vehicle in a safe environment and learn how to react calmly and correctly. The programme is ideal for individual drivers and corporate fleets looking to reduce incidents and protect their people.
Test Driver Training
Specialized training that prepares drivers to carry out vehicle testing safely, precisely and consistently.
Vehicle testing requires a level of skill, precision and discipline that goes far beyond everyday driving. Our test driver training prepares professionals to perform repeatable manoeuvres, follow defined test procedures and drive safely at the vehicle’s limits. Training covers vehicle dynamics, high-speed and emergency handling, proving-ground safety rules and accurate test execution. This makes it suitable for engineers and drivers working on development, ADAS validation or function testing programmes.
EV/HEV Safety Driving Training
Training that helps drivers understand the unique characteristics of electric and hybrid vehicles and operate them safely.
Electric and hybrid vehicles drive differently from conventional cars. Instant torque, regenerative braking, higher vehicle weight and near-silent operation all affect how they should be handled. This programme helps drivers adapt their driving style, use energy efficiently and stay aware of pedestrians and other road users who may not hear them approach. It also covers basic awareness of high-voltage systems and what to do after an incident or breakdown. The training is ideal for new EV owners, fleets moving to electric vehicles and mobility service operators.
Commercial Vehicle Safety Training
Targeted training for drivers of trucks, vans and other commercial vehicles to reduce risk and improve operational safety.
Commercial vehicles bring added challenges, including larger blind spots, longer stopping distances, load-dependent handling and long hours on the road. Our training covers defensive driving, safe braking and cornering with different loads, blind spot management, manoeuvring in tight spaces, and fatigue awareness. Practical sessions on the test track help drivers understand how their vehicle behaves in demanding situations. For fleet operators, the programme supports fewer incidents, lower operating costs and a stronger safety culture.
Passenger Bus Safety Training
Dedicated training for bus drivers focused on the safety and comfort of every passenger on board.
Bus drivers carry responsibility for dozens of lives on every trip. This programme strengthens the skills needed to operate large passenger vehicles safely in busy urban traffic and on highways. Topics include defensive driving, smooth acceleration and braking for passenger comfort, safe stopping at bus stops, managing blind spots, and awareness of vulnerable road users. Emergency procedures are also covered. The training is suitable for public transport operators, school bus services and private transport companies.
Motorcycles Riding Safety Training
Practical riding training that helps motorcyclists, including delivery riders, build control, awareness and confidence.
Motorcyclists are among the most vulnerable road users, and good riding technique can make a life-saving difference. Our motorcycle training covers machine control, emergency braking, cornering, obstacle avoidance and correct use of protective equipment. Practical exercises take place in a safe, controlled environment, helping riders improve their skills without the pressures of live traffic. The programme is well suited to private riders, delivery fleets and companies that want to reduce risk among their riders.
AV Safety Driver Training
Specialized training for safety drivers and operators who supervise autonomous vehicles during testing and operation.
As autonomous vehicles move towards public roads, the role of the safety driver is critical. This programme prepares safety drivers to monitor automated systems, recognise when intervention is needed, and take back control quickly and safely. Training covers automated driving principles, system limitations, takeover procedures, situational awareness, communication protocols and incident reporting. Practical sessions on the test track build the reactions and judgement needed to support safe autonomous vehicle testing and deployment in Dubai.
