Amber - Overall skill and / or knowledge demonstrated but consistency yet to be achieved to maximise operational efficiencies
Red - Overall skill and / or knowledge not demonstrated to a satisfactory standard a loss and / or potential exists.
The evaluation recognises performance by an individual driver, and identifies, for the company, potential loss and / or risk factors which are colour coded as above.
To achieve the required standard for a “standard met” outcome there must be no red sections present in the report
