With the Driver CPC Legislation just three months away, were launching the Big Train, a major training initiative.
Words: Andy Satter On 12 September2009 at the Warwick University Business School, we'll be holding the first of our Big Train training days. Drivers and transport managers attending the day will be able to get their first seven hours of training on the way to meeting the new Driver CPC regulations. We've teamed up with Fraikin, an approved training provider for the Driver CPC, to launch this initiative to the industry. For just £99 per delegate, we're offering a day's training in the professional environment of a business training centre.
There won't be a plastic chair or table in sight as we set about raising the bar for truck driver training provision in this country. Class sizes are 20 per group we're running five different classes at the first event and you'll be taught in a relaxed environment where shared learning is the key as we seek to remove the pain from the Driver CPC.
Don't worry if you and your drivers have not have been in a classroom for 30 years With the Big Train, we bring everyone together so you don't need to feel intimidated or embarrassed. We believe the Driver CPC should be about gaining the knowledge needed, in the most interactive surroundings possible, and to ensure the UK truck driver is the best in the world. This is not a seven-hour lecture! So why not get involved?
Our team of trainers are all industry professionals, well versed in working alongside and helping drivers, and will deliver the training in an easy-to-understand format, where the focus is on making sure you get the most out of it.There will be plenty of time for questions and team discussions built into the day, and while participation is important, if pushing yourself forward is not your greatest pleasure, then nobody is going to force you.
At the end of the day's training, you'll be given a certificate by us to confirm your attendance at the event, and our team will upload your training records on to the DSA database free of charge it's all part of our commitment to you and the industry.
The Driver CPC is an unavoidable piece of legislation, which you can't ignore if you want to stay in the business. Get on board the Big Train now to avoid getting left behind and paying premium fares further down the line.
