Launched in May 2008, the Association of  Trainers was formed to represent professional trainers involved in the delivery of Driver CPC training. The Association identified that there was no one body which could deal with the full range of CPC training issues and represent the interests of trainers.

 

The Association aims to facilitate better communications across the transport industry training sector. Members represent a wide cross section of driver training, from local government to private small, medium and large companies. A key objective of the association is to provide a quality assurance scheme for operators wishing to purchase DriverCPC Periodic Training which, following its implementation on 10th September 2008 for the PCV sector, will take effect on 10th September 2009 for LGV drivers.
