TTC takes training courses online
TTC Group is now able to deliver its JAUPT (Joint Approvals Unit for Periodic Training) approved driver CPC courses and core fleet manager courses online in virtual classrooms.
The impact of coronavirus has brought significant challenges to many businesses and the face-to-face training industry in particular. Nearly all classroom-based courses have been postponed or cancelled, although the need for training and maintaining vehicle fleet compliance has not diminished.
That’s why TTC Group is delighted to confirm that it has obtained formal approval from JAUPT – the organisation for quality assurance programme of centres and courses for the Driver CPC periodic training – to deliver all its half-day courses and its Driver Personal Performance course online from Wednesday, 15 April.
The 3½-hour courses offered include: driver hours; driver distractions; driver health and well-being; safe loading; driver safety awareness; and driver speed awareness.
All courses will be delivered live with expert trainers delivering the courses for up to 12 delegates at a time within a virtual classroom. The classroom allows each delegate to see, interact with and ask questions of the trainer, and other delegates, as well as viewing and hearing the same content delivered on traditional face-to-face courses.
Some courses will run closed for individual companies who just want their drivers to undertake private training, while others will be open for any bus, coach or truck driver to book and join in.
As per the existing JAUPT guidelines, seven hours of training will be required during a 24-hour period meaning each driver will need to complete two different 3½ courses within that period.
TTC Group is simultaneously announcing its capability to deliver a number of its fleet and driver risk management courses online. These 90-minute courses aim to bring managers up to speed with their crucial duty of care responsibilities to the employees when they drive for work.
Jim Kirkwood, CEO TTC Group, said: “The business environment has changed out of all recognition and we needed to react quickly. That’s why I’m delighted we can now offer our training using virtual classroom technology.”
