Approved Training and Assessment Centres

If you’re an existing B+E trainer/training organisation, become a Safe Towing Scheme approved centre and benefit from accredited status and a range of resources to support you in delivering trailer training and assessments. You can also become an approved assessment centre, able to offer certified trailer assessments.

Benefits of becoming an approved centre will include:

Training and certification for all trainers
Regular refresher training
Helpdesk
Access to all Safe Towing Scheme training and assessment materials
Unique access to a FREE introductory online course and theory test for exclusive use of your clients
Opportunity to earn additional income as an Approved Assessment Centre
Marketing of approved training centres and listing/profile on Safe Towing Scheme website
Logos and other marketing materials for individual centre promotional activity

Approved Training and Assessment Centres

All training providers and trainers approved by the Safe Towing Scheme go through a robust approvals process to gain our accreditation (which requires them to meet key criteria concerning trainer qualifications and experience, quality of training facilities and vehicles, have the appropriate policies and insurance in place etc) and have additionally undertaken a train the trainer programme.

Additionally, all Approved Trainers and Centres are monitored and quality assured by our scheme, which is monitored by the National Council for Accredited Trailer Training (NCATT).

Sadly, as we know, not all B+E training offered in the market is accredited by recognised bodies and government endorsed, as there is no mandatory requirement for a B+E trainer to have a training licence, nor have any specific driver or towing training qualifications, and very few accredited schemes of this nature exist for trailer training.

Becoming a Safe Towing Scheme Approved Centre means your trainers are recognised as accredited, your training programme is accredited and any certification issued is accredited and recognised by leading driver education and road safety bodies, as well as the Driving and Vehicle Standards Agency, the government agency responsible for driver and driver training standards.

All this gives your customers more confidence in your training provision and working together we can give the public more confidence in trailer training and help make towing safer.
