2025 has been an exciting year for SambaSafety. We expanded our online fleet training offerings with new, region-specific courses designed to enhance driver safety and compliance across the globe. Below, we provide a quick overview of the training content introduced this past year, with courses tailored for the UK, as well as new French-Canadian and Spanish content, as well as .
UK Training Content
Our UK 'Pro-Defence' Catalog introduces a comprehensive suite of defensive driving training designed specifically for all UK vehicle types, including heavy goods vehicles (HGV1 and HGV2), light duty vehicles (LDV) and cars. Defensive driving training equips drivers with the skills needed to anticipate and mitigate potential road hazards, reducing the risk of crashes and other costly incidents. These new courses have been meticulously crafted to address the unique challenges of UK roads, with UK-specific narration, visuals of vehicles, roadways and signage, as well as considerations for localized government regulations.
The fundamental defensive driving topics covered include: 
- Distractions
- Effective communication
- Fatigue management
- Evaluating space
- Navigating hazards
- Controlled speed
- Essential planning
- An approach to safe driving
In addition, we launched a series of UK Micro-Learning Modules for all vehicle types (HGV1, HGV2, LDV, car) that can be used as post-incident reminders or ongoing skill reinforcement. These short, targeted lessons provide drivers with quick refreshers on specific topics such as mobile phone use, stop signs and traffic control devices, smoking, rear-end collisions, following distance, slippery roads, animal collisions and much more.

Other Course Updates
This year, we've also made critical changes to our Driver Qualification Files courses. Following the Department of Transportation's June 23rd elimination of physical medical certification cards in favor of electronic verification, we've updated both our standard and manager-focused courses to reflect current FMCSA requirements.
Additionally, we've enhanced our seat belt training with improved visuals and our modern micro-learning format, rolling out updates to both our sedan and heavy-duty Spanish courses.
These improvements represent our ongoing commitment to delivering engaging, compliant training content, with more course enhancements planned throughout the year.
ELDT Class B Certificate Now Available
The Entry Level Driver Training (ELDT) Class B certificate is now available to view and print directly within the SambaSafety platform. Users who complete all courses in the ELDT Class B content category will receive a Learning Path certificate for compliance purposes, matching the functionality already available for ELDT Class A certification.
Coming Soon
We're expanding our training library with several exciting additions, including our innovative "Safety Shorts" format—sub-60-second refresher videos that reinforce key concepts without feeling repetitive.
New regional content will cover Canadian Hours of Service regulations, including specialized North of 60° requirements, while existing lessons across sedan, medium duty, light duty and heavy-duty categories will receive micro-learning enhancements.
Our injury prevention catalog is getting a major boost with nine new micro-learning courses covering everything from back injury prevention to tarp safety, plus a comprehensive full-length 'Truck Safety' lesson that incorporates all these topics.
Enhanced Mobile Training Experience
Beyond expanding our course catalog, we're also enhancing the mobile training experience with a comprehensive refresh of our driver training mobile app. The updated app will feature a modern interface with SambaSafety branding, push notifications for new assignments and due date reminders, making it easier for drivers to stay on top of their training requirements and track their progress. We're also adding an auto-logout security feature for shared devices, providing both convenience and enhanced security.
This modern, mobile approach ensures our training is accessible from anywhere, supporting today's mobile workforce while maintaining the engaging, high-quality experience SambaSafety is known for.
