Establishing national qualification standards for transport operators and professional drivers

In 2010, the United Nations announced its ¡®Decade of Road Safety¡¯ which seeks to reduce road traffic fatalities around the world. Although most accidents are not caused by road transport professionals, studies have shown that the ¡®human factor¡¯ does account for 85% to 90% of road accidents. ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉútvAcademy already provides comprehensive safety training for commercial drivers and transport operators through classroom led or online courses.
