Industry training organisation Mito has launched a new commercial training programme for experienced drivers.
The National Certificate in Commercial Road Transport (Goods Service Senior Driver) (Level 4) qualification will help experienced truck drivers take on senior or training roles in their companies.
It includes both theoretical and practical training and assessment to ensure drivers can effectively mentor, train and manage both drivers and vehicles.
Mito chief executive Janet Lane says the new training programme offers a significant career pathway for experienced truck drivers.
“We are pleased to launch this programme that reiterates our commitment to workforce development within the Commercial Road Transport industry.”
Learners choose to complete one of two strands, designed to recognise the specific skills required for either heavy rigid vehicle drivers or heavy combination vehicle drivers.
It takes 15 months to complete.
Meanwhile, log truck drivers who successfully complete this programme will receive ‘Platinum’ status in the Log Transport Safety Council’s Driver Pathway Accreditation Programme, Pathway to Success.
