Training

The Transport Education and Training Authority (TETA) accreditation scheme is meant to establish a network of recognised organisations offering training at a reliable and appropriate standard. Unfortunately progress has been frustratingly slow and extremely disappointing. The TETA list is still far from extensive.

Many long-established and reputable training bodies who have been around a lot longer than TETA are still not accredited and are thus seriously and unfairly disadvantaged, as their training does not qualify employers to claim a tax rebate.

There are many fly-by-nights that come and go in this business and meeting TETA’s bureaucratic criteria for accreditation is by no means a guarantee of the standard quality of training offered, the quality of training being far more important than any tax rebate an employer may claim using a TETA listed organisation. It is a pity that the situation is further aggravated by insurance companies who only recognise TETA’s chosen few.

The Department of Transport has Gazetted a list of Dangerous Goods Training Bodies approved for the training of drivers wishing to obtain "D" category Professional Driving Permit (PrDP).
