Flag Training Network already have four Accredited Drivers CPC (DCPC) Periodic
Training courses. A further four are with JAUPT for accreditation, whilst
two more are being developed. This is in addition to over TEN courses in
the consideration stage.
We are not only registering "industry standard" courses
such as LGV Drivers Hours, but we are also developing "sector specific" and "client
specific" courses. Examples of "sector specific" courses
are Safe Loading for Low Loader Operations, Safe Operating of Pressure/Vacuum
Tankers and The School Run. The "client specific" courses are
relevent to an operators own requirements i.e. courses for local councils,
cash-in-transit and high security transport companies where company policy
is integrated into a relevent course structure.
ALL of our courses combine
classroom based theory with external practical sessions. We understand
that drivers will find it difficult to retain their interest for the required
seven hours of training. And we have to consider our instructors. You may
have to do the course once, but we have to deliver it many times, so it
is important to us to keep instructors "fresh" and
capable of delivering an interesting and enjoyable course. We promise that
no course will become "death by PowerPoint".
Some of our forthcoming
courses will be eligable for both Periodic Training (DCPC) and a nationally
recognised award. Whilst the terms of DCPC strictly forbid Testing & Examination
as part of the DCPC training, it does not prohibit the relevent awarding
bodies Tests & Examinations
being taken on the same day outside the JAUPT approved timetable. For
this reason, these courses will always be conducted to the necessary
standards of the awarding bodies.
