- Broad range We offer over 90 courses, ranging from CPC and Driver CPC through to ADR and DGSA. These courses accommodate all skill levels from new starters through to senior management levels, and train over a selection of different vehicle types and operations.
- Experience We have over 40 years' experience in freight transport, encompassing a wide variety of disciplines and access to a wealth of knowledge and best practice information.
- New legislation Part of FTA's primary function is to influence and develop new legislation within the industry. Because of this our trainers have access to up-to- the-minute policy information and Government-led developments. FTA has also reacted to the introduction of Driver CPC regulations by putting together a range of mini- courses that link to the syllabus, fulfilling the periodic training requirement.
- Encouragement We encourage candidates' development and success rates by supplementing some courses with workshop days and networking. In particular the CPC workshops cover what are deemed to be the hardest units and we have seen a significant increase in pass rates for candidates who attend the workshop days.
- Flexibility We operate courses the length and breadth of the country, and will endeavour to accommodate candidates' requests for courses where possible. We offer both residential and non-residential courses, and ensure that candidates are fully equipped with the best information and study materials.
- In-company The majority of our courses are available in-company and can also be bespoked to a specific type of operation or business requirement. This enables companies to reduce downtime and is a cost effective way of training volumes of staff.
- Trainers All FTA trainers and instructors are themselves trained to the highest standards and registered/accredited to teach in their specific discipline. We regularly assess our trainers to ensure they are abreast of the latest issues and are performing to excellent standards.
- Success We consistently achieve pass rates around 10 per cent higher than the national average for National Road Haulage CPC. Our International CPC has constantly achieved a 90 per cent pass rate. We pride ourselves on the results our candidates achieve and the success they demonstrate when returning to their roles within companies. We frequently have returning candidates year on year, continually developing their skills within the industry.
