SURVEY

| NEWS 1 SURVEY | 23 Open Call for Feedback on CPC Periodic Training for Drivers

You are invited to participate in a survey to explore the feasibility of converting certain parts of the curriculum into a format that can be delivered in a blended learning environment (i.e., part classroom based and part online learning). We want to engage with as many drivers and trainers as possible to get input into what aspects of the curriculum could be suitable for adaptation and to gather views on how to improve the accessibility of the programme. The survey will be available online from early November and instructions on how to take part in the survey will be featured in Fleet Transport’s weekly newsletter in the upcoming weeks. It will also be available to access through approved training centres or via some employers and/or industry representatives.

Thank you in advance for your participation in this survey which we expect will provide valuable insight into how we can improve the training programme.

The RSA regularly reviews the Driver CPC Periodic Training to ensure that it continues to meet the needs of participants and achieves road safety objectives. As part of the National Road Safety Strategy, we have committed to improving the accessibility of Driver CPC Periodic Training. The EU Directive covering periodic training of drivers allows for member states to improve and modernise training practices with the use of technology, however it also states that a substantial amount of the required training must be carried out at an approved training centre.

Road crashes are a leading cause of worker fatalities.
