The Driving Standards Agency (DSA) realised that the implementation of the Periodic Training element of Driver CPC would require an approvals unit to approve training centres and courses. Within the two industry sectors, passenger transport and freight transport, that are affected by this legislation there are two organisations called Sector Skills Councils (SSC’s).
These were set up by the government to help the employers in their sectors improve the skills levels of their workforce. The DSA agreed with these two organisations, Skills for logistics (freight transport) and GoSkills (passenger transport) that they should manage the Periodic Training approvals process.
The two SSC’s set up a jointly run organisation called the Joint Approvals Unit for Periodic Training (JAUPT) to manage the approvals process. The JAUPT is based in Milton Keynes and deals with any enquires about Periodic Training from training providers and employers.
All applications for centre and course approval must be submitted to the JAUPT in order to gain approval for periodic training. Every course and centre will be assessed according to set criteria before approval or re-approval is given. The JAUPT will also ensure that audits are conducted to maintain and quality assure standards.
Payment will be accepted by cheque (made payable to DSA) postal order, and credit/debit card.
Application forms are attached to the ‘Guide to Periodic Training’.
