Establishing national qualification standards for transport operators and professional drivers
In 2010, the United Nations announced its ‘Decade of Road Safety’ which seeks to reduce road traffic fatalities around the world. Although most accidents are not caused by road transport professionals, studies have shown that the ‘human factor’ does account for 85% to 90% of road accidents. IRU Academy already provides comprehensive safety training for commercial drivers and transport operators through classroom led or online courses.
IRU Academy has also developed a whole range of services that can be mobilised to assist countries that require assistance to conduct reforms and enhance their road transport sector. In the field of professional qualification, IRU Academy’s methodology to establish national qualification frameworks follows a systematic approach that ensures application of recognised international best practices.
The IRU Academy offers high-end professional training references together with the necessary examination and certification capabilities, resulting in ready-made professional road transport qualification systems that can be deployed in line with the specific needs of the country.
