The Talented Learning Show with John Leh: Spotlight on Gencat and the Professional Driving Industry.
You can drive a car. Does that mean you can drive a school bus? How about a livestock trailer? If you think that zipping around town in your compact car is remotely like maneuvering a Lamborghini, think again.
The point is, driving isn’t one-size-fits-all, and few people appreciate just how complex the professional driving industry really is.
However, the same can’t be said for our customer Barry Lyons, Operations Director at Gencat Limited, a professional driver training association. He recently sat down with John Leh, CEO of Talented Learning, for an episode of The Talented Learning Show to discuss how learning technology is reshaping professional driver development.
They got into the nitty-gritty of:
- Driver complexity – Gencat has identified more than 32 different types of commercial driving roles, each of which require specialized skills, from handling hazardous goods to customer-facing home delivery.
- Compliance Training – The traditional ‘7 hours in a classroom’ once a year isn’t enough. And with shifts starting every hour of the night and day, it’s tricky to schedule training that sticks. This is why they moved online with Eurekos LMS, enabling mobile learning (no pun intended) that tailored training for different vehicles and driver roles.
- Telematics + LMS = smarter training – Telematic sensors monitor, manage and improve vehicle operations and driver behavior. If you want to truly affect behavior that exists outside of your training data, you need a way to track that. And this is exactly what the guys at Gencat did to prove their training worked.
- Measurable results – Gencat has some stunning results that you should really hear about for yourself. Check out the case study or the podcast to learn more.

Kudos to John Leh for spotlighting such a great story, and to Gencat for leading the way in driver training innovation.
