Training Initiatives

The IRU Academy is continually involved in training intiatives, which tackle important issues in the sector and propose solutions. Through its involvement in these initiatives, the IRU Academy keeps its finger on the pulse of the road transport training industry.

HIV/AIDS is a vital issue for the road transport industry. In some regions, international long-distance drivers may be the most vulnerable category of transport workers due to the nature and conditions of their work. Learn more by clicking here.

CPC Driver Periodic Train the Trainer (TOT to FCO)

Due to the implementation of periodic training from September 2009 and the requirements that all drivers need to undertake mandatory periodic training, we are anticipating a lack of qualified instructors across Europe able to deliver high level professional training in compliance with the EU directive. The lack of instructors may generate a shortage of drivers not being able to undertake their training by 2016 and therefore not being able to drive.  The CPC Driver Periodic Train the Trainer Programme, also known as TOT to FCO, aims at qualifying instructors and professional drivers to address this important issue.
