NTP NEWS! WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE
RECOVERY INDUSTRY!
NTP would like to wish everyone who has
trained or worked with us over the past
year a Happy New Year! We are grateful
for your support especially during these
unprecedented times and hope that 2021
proves to be a better year for the entire
industry.
EV & HybridAWARE: we have just
completed an extensive online EV &
HybridAWARE DCPC training programme
for the RAC who kindly sponsored it at a
reduced rate for the rest of the industry
and opened it to military personnel free of
charge including attendees from as far away
as Australia! Not only was the feedback
from the delegates outstanding but Andy
Gent, RAC National Recovery Manager,
said:
Our Mission: Since our inception in 2017 we
have had one goal:
“To offer affordable and accessible
training, whilst enhancing learner
engagement through innovation in
technology, and improving health &
safety and compliance standards to the
whole of the industry”
Electronic Learning: “Training provided via

training.
With EV & Hybrid awareness training
required by law by anyone working with
these vehicles this 1-hour e-learning
course can be taken as a standalone basic
awareness module or as the prerequisite
before attending a more involved course.
Blended-Learning: “a style of education
in which students learn via electronic
or remote delivery media as well as
traditional face-to-face teaching”
We all know that the roadside & recovery
industry is a practical, hands-on industry
where operatives need the skills and
knowledge to be able to attend jobs, load
and secure casualty vehicles and transport
them safely. It is essential that this practical
training is under-pinned with theory-based
knowledge and it is these theory-based
modules that can be delivered in an online,
Covid-safe environment. By then adding
the practical face-to-face training, at a
later date, and continually assessing the
learners you can offer a successful blendedlearning programme or range of courses
that achieves everything a full face-to-face
course does whilst saving time & money and
protecting the welfare of the students.

Remote Delivery: “When the students
and instructor are not physically in the
same classroom or workspace but can still
interact”
When the first lockdown occurred in April
the DVSA through JAUPT allowed training
providers to resubmit their current DCPC
modules for approval to deliver through
a remote delivery method i.e. videoconferencing such as Zoom or Teams.
NTP submitted 5 modules at that time
and have since increased that to 8, all of
which have received JAUPT approval
that the adaptations to the framework do
not compromise the learning objectives or
the student’s experience by the instructor
not delivering the course in-person. Each
course maintains its adherence to H&S
regulations and to National Occupation
Standards.
Our EV & HybridAWARE course is currently
the only industry relevant awareness course
that is individually registered with JAUPT for
Drivers CPC hours.
ForensicAWARE: our interactive
preservation of evidence module for
the industry that is delivered online but
uses the latest technology to include live
instructor demonstrations and a Q&A
session. The course has been approved by
Police Scotland and will be held regularly
throughout the new year.
