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. ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Academy already provides comprehensive safety training for commercial drivers and transport operators through classroom led or online courses.

ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Academy 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, ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Academy¡¯s methodology to establish national qualification frameworks follows a systematic approach that ensures application of recognised international best practices.

The ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Academy 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.
