"My greatest achievement was seeing first-hand the noticeable improvements the new driver trainer made following his learning of the advanced driving and coaching techniques," he said. "I felt the job I came here to do made a huge difference."
A large part of Chris' efforts in Zambia were devoted to developing the skills of newly-recruited driver trainer Francis Mulumi. Chris focused on training Francis in defensive driving techniques, as well as covering topics such as rollover prevention, driver fatigue and fire and Hazchem training.

Speaking on his return, Chris tells Biglorryblogsaid: "The whole experience was extremely challenging and at times I had to go back to basic driver training skills in order to change driver culture habits."
Following up on previous Hoyer training inputs by Gary Parmar and Joe Connolly in 2009, Chris made a valuable contribution to Transaid's Professional Driver Training Project, coaching ITCT driver trainers in safer driving and handling hazardous chemicals (Hazchem). Having shared instruction techniques with the ITCT driver trainers in a 'training to train' module, Chris also spent time developing the trainers' own personal driving skills to raise their standards and subsequently, those of their trainees.
