    As most of you are aware, TfNSW recently conducted an audit of all SDC Providers.

    • One of the areas identified as lacking was Professional Development (PD) and refresher training for our Facilitators and Coaches.

      With this in mind, NSWDTA is planning several PD / refresher days during the next 6 months.

      This will be free of charge to current NSWDTA members, who are already accredited in Mod 1 and/or Mod 2 to deliver the courses. The day is open to non members however there is a charge of $100 for Mod 1 , & $100 for Mod 2, if you are doing both modules it will cost $175. 

      Anthony Cope will be facilitating the day.

The NSW Driver Trainers Association (DTA), founded in 2002, aims to promote good driving education standards; to support driving instructors with consultation or resources; and to have a voice in government on road safety and driver responsibility. We are not-for-profit governed by an elected Committee and run by volunteers with administrative staff to help public and member enquiries and promote the NSW DTA.
