Pertemps partners up for digital training launch

Transport training provider Pertemps has joined forces with Skills for Logistics to collaborate on a blended learning, JAUPT-accredited Driver CPC programme.

The offering will cut time spent in a physical classroom for drivers, says Pertemps – a sign of the times given that remote learning and home-based working have become the norm, leading to intensified demand for more flexible training.

A combination of two hours’ e-learning, followed by five hours in the classroom with a qualified trainer, will offer LGV drivers, or their employers, a flexible training option more suited to current lifestyle demands, says Pertemps.

Additionally, every driver attending the course will be offered free enrolment on Flow Logistics Online, a new career development platform which allows individuals to progress along pathways with their unique digital passport as a permanent record of achievements.

Samantha Leleu, founder of Pertemps Driver Training, said: “There has been a huge shift in the way people work, learn and interact, largely as a result of recent lockdowns. LGV drivers want to see this reflected in the way training is delivered, so this offering will give them the flexibility they require when completing hours towards their Driver CPC qualifications.

“Working with Skills for Logistics, we listened to drivers and their employers and are extremely pleased to bring a new and innovative approach to the industry. Not only does this course provide drivers and employers with a flexible and convenient way of completing their training, but learners will also enjoy the opportunities available on the Flow platform.”

Launched earlier this year, Flow Logistics Online is aimed at learners across the industry who will benefit from technical and vocational training. Modules have been designed to fit in around busy lives with short lessons that can be completed anywhere and on any smart device.

David Coombes, CEO of Skills for Logistics and the founder of Flow Logistics Online, said: “We are delighted to have come together with Pertemps Driver Training to set out an exciting partnership which we hope will provide a much-needed alternative for the LGV drivers sector.

“Employers can now sign up to the DCPC course through Pertemps Driver Training, with the knowledge that their learners will receive the highest standard of quality-assured training.”

The new blended-learning approach is now live.
