Drivetech

What Drivetech does

Drivetech, from the AA, is a UK-based fleet risk management and driver training company operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of AA Limited. The business is organised in two divisions: (1) Police-Referred Courses, where Drivetech is an accredited NDORS provider delivering speed awareness, motorway awareness, safe driving, level crossing, and rider/belt safety courses to UK police-referred drivers via online and classroom channels; and (2) Global Business Fleet Solutions, providing fleet risk assessments, on-road training, e-learning, VR training, DVLA/DVA licence checking, accident management, and EV fleet transition advisory to enterprise and mid-market fleet operators.

The technology core is the FleetRiskManager web platform, which combines modules for LiveView risk display, PermitToDrive internal licensing, LicenceCheck DVLA/DVA validation, AssessOnline risk assessments, LearnOnline training, CourseData, FleetData, CollisionData, and telematics integration. DriverPortal extends this internationally across 90+ countries and 35+ languages, supported by content expertise from Cranfield University and Cito. Supplementary products include HALO Insights (analytics), Drivetech Consult, Driver's Mate video training, Road Ready, plus AA Group-affiliated services (Business Breakdown Cover, VIXA Pro predictive maintenance, Prestige Fleet Servicing).

Revenue is generated through a mix of B2G per-course fees for police-referred schemes, B2B subscription/recurring fees for fleet platform access (FleetRiskManager, DriverPortal), and project-based consultancy and training engagements. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales, an inside sales contact centre for UK and international enquiries, an online self-serve booking platform for police-referred courses, and a 40+ partner channel for global delivery.
