Mandatory periodic training for professional drivers

The project has studied how the periodic training is implemented in practice at the training centres. The training is in many ways a success, but, there are still large groups of students who report negative expectations and poor learning outcomes. Having attended courses for passenger transport and having experienced a well-organised course, is strongly associated with perceived learning outcomes and behavioural changes. We suggest the following focus for further work on periodic training courses: • Investigate differences between sectors in terms of course outcomes • Investigate differences between internal and external courses • Specify mapping of learning outcomes • Focus on self-employed drivers • Consider relationships with transport companies • Measures geared towards instructors/teachers • More focus on specific topics perceived to be relevant • Study outcomes for foreign-language drivers • Review opportunities for improving second-time courses
