Promoting road safety and encouraging a higher uptake of professional qualifications within the logistics sector.
The LGV vocational training sector has expressed a requirement for an independent, quality assured examination standard.
VTCT Skills for Logistics meets this need with a range of DVSA supported, unregulated qualifications* and the Register of Logistics Instructors (RLI).
VTCT Skills is a charity and market-leading specialist vocational and technical awarding organisation operating across several sectors, including logistics.
The DVSA has provided official recognition of the VTCT Skills for Logistics – Large Goods Vehicle (LGV) Instructor Qualification* (incorporating Driver Trainer / Assessor and Driver Assessor) which has been specifically designed to meet the evolving needs of the logistics industry.
N.B.- The RLI are one of the very few DVSA approved organisations which highlight safe learning and driving.
*Unregulated qualifications are subject to external quality assurance by VTCT Skills, supported by DVSA.
Our VTCT Instructor Assessment training portfolio comprises 3 standalone courses:
RLI Examiner
This accreditation allows individuals to conduct the Register of Logistics Instructors examination. With this, you can examine a candidate, but not train them as well.
Driver Assessor (DA)
A DA can only conduct driving assessments, not the training.
Driver Trainer/Assessor (DTA)
A DTA can conduct training and assessments of new or experienced drivers.
Training Requirements
To become an RLI-approved instructor, you must first meet the following criteria:
Have a valid driving licence for at least three years for the vehicle in which they intend to conduct instruction for (e.g.- Category C or Category C+E)
LGV Driving Instructor certification with either VTCT Skills for Logistics or another DVSA recognised register.
Provide the appropriate evidence which shows the applicant’s subject knowledge, experience and qualifications.
Declaration as a fit and proper person.
About Our Course
This course focuses on the practical aspects of driver assessment and corrective training and can prove an extremely cost-effective way of providing training throughout a company.
Often the first step in a potential trainer’s journey is to become a Driver Assessor. A Driver Assessor’s role is to assess drivers against a national standard creating a risk grading that providing the business with an understanding of the level of risk each driver poses. A key benefit to this structured assessment is ensuring that all drivers are graded in the same way to a recognised and robust national standard.
Driver Assessors are taught how to risk grade in 5 bands from low risk to high risk, enabling training and interventions to be targeted at the higher risk drivers. Driver Assessors benefit businesses by identifying risk and helping to reduce driver accident severity and frequency.
Many businesses have Driver Assessors who are overseen by Driver Trainer / Assessors (DTA), whose role is to train drivers to improve their skills and reduce their risk grading. Although candidates can go straight to a DTA course, it is often the next step in a trainer’s journey.
Achieving this qualification provides entry to the VTCT Skills for Logistics – Register of Logistics Instructors.
