The Driving Standards Agency (DSA) realised that the implementation of the Periodic Training element of Driver CPC would require an approvals unit to approve Periodic Training centres and courses.
Within the two industry sectors that are affected by this legislation, passenger transport and freight transport, there are two organisations called Sector Skills Councils (SSC’s). These were set up by the government to help the employers in their sectors improve the skills levels of their workforce. The DSA agreed with these two organisations, Skills for Logistics (freight transport) and GoSkills (passenger transport) that they should manage the Periodic Training approvals process.
The two SSC’s set up a jointly run organisation called the Joint Approvals Unit for Periodic Training (JAUPT) to manage the approvals process for Periodic Training centres and courses. The JAUPT is based in Milton Keynes and supports training providers or operators who wish to become approved to deliver Periodic Training. This also includes operators who wish to deliver Periodic Training exclusively to their own employees.
