FTA revamps training to cope with COVID-19 crisis
30 March 2020
The Freight Transport Association has launched an online version of the Operator Licence Awareness Training Course (OLAT) to ensure operators can continue to receive vital compliance training under the government’s ‘social distancing’ rules.
The e-OLAT will form one of six training courses now available to access online; FTA has suspended temporarily all face-to-face training events under COVID-19 government guidance.
Keith Gray, general manager of Training, Audits and Standards at FTA said: “While the government has now restricted use of classroom based, face-to-face training under its ‘social distancing’ rules, the need for transport operators to run their fleets safely, efficiently, and in line with government regulation remains the same. To help logistics businesses keep their operations running as smoothly as possible during this difficult time, we are pleased to launch e-OLAT, an online version of the Operator Licence Awareness Training Course, delivered through a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE).”
