• A series of 17 regional one-day training courses is to be run during the winter by the Freight Transport Association to help members prepare for operators' licensing.
Three papers will be circulated in advance covering operators' licensing, drivers' hours and records, and transport managers' licences. Each course will consist of three lectures designed to explain the papers and an open forum question-and-answer session. A special feature of each course will be a "clinic" where members will be able to raise problems individually with the course lecturers.
Taking part in the courses will be senior FTA staff, who have been involved with the MoT in producing the various regulations, Mr. D. H. Joyce, chairman of the Transport Managers' Licence Committee and FTA divisional secretaries.
The course fee will be £8 or £10 per person (depending on venue) and will cover all costs, including morning coffee, lunch and afternoon tea, as well as documents and necessary papers. All Training Boards are being asked to approve the courses for grant purposes.
