RTITB has, following extensive consultation with the road freight and logistics industry, formed a consortium: Master Driver for CPC (MDC).
The consortium’s objective is to provide high quality periodic driver training as required by EU Directive 2003/59 in a manner which is cost effective, consistent, reliable and robust and which is delivered using uniform training materials and systems at its core, to which training “with particular emphasis on specific operating environments” can be added in meeting the training objectives agreed and approved by the Joint Approvals Unit for Periodic Training (JAUPT), on behalf of the Driving Standards Agency (DSA).
MDC Members contractually agree to deliver periodic driver training in accordance with the requirements of:
- The RTITB MDC member guidance
- The Master Driver Registration Scheme (MDRS) user guide
- The JAUPT as described by “A Guide to Periodic Training for Employers and Training Providers to the Road Passenger and Road Freight Industries”
- The “Guidance for Consortia and Consortia members”
It is imperative that instructors and those supporting instructors in managerial and administrative roles comply with all of the above requirements in order to provide drivers with appropriate timely training so as to maintain and enhance their professional status and that of their employers and the industry as a whole.
