Transport for London (TfL) fully funded FORS for the first 7 years and established the scheme as a benchmark standard for operators working in and around London. FORS has been successful and is now being offered across the UK. In order to ensure the long-term future of FORS, it needs to be a self-funding scheme which can continue to grow, improve and develop to meet industry’s needs.
The FORS annual subscription fee is based on the total fleet size of all the operating centres in scope of the FORS accreditation. More information on the fees available here.
What does the purchase of an annual subscription fee entitle me to?
Your annual subscription fee gives your entire company access to the FORS online benefits package which includes eLearning, access to driver CPC training and FORS specific offers and discounts. You can also attend FORS Practitioner workshops which are available nationwide.
If you fail to pay your fees your company will be downgraded to dormant and will lose any FORS accreditation that it holds. If you want to reinstate your company please email the FORS Helpline enquiries@fors-online.org.uk, request to be re-instated and complete the payment process.
