First class trained professional drivers are a key to more safety on European roads and at the same time responsible for the success of today’s transport industry. New learning media and their application within the professional driver qualification are an opportunity but at the same time a challenge.
Two aspects of the ICT-DRV project results were:
1. New learning media such as the application of mobile devices for learning close to the work place will be indispensible in the future. The same applies to simulators which can produce training conditions that are not possible with practical training on the road.
2. The way to reaching the necessary quality of e-learning and simulator based training is difficult and requires a lot of effort. The project results impressively demonstrate what has to be done and what value can be added to vocational educaton and training of professional drivers.
