The company’s 1,500 drivers are being enrolled on a Train to Gain course created especially for their type of work.
Drivers will get on-the-job training and assessment in areas like Customer Service, Health and Safety and Vehicle Checks and will gain a new NVQ qualification.
The training and development programme will take two years to roll out across the UK and is being run by Impact Training Solutions in partnership with BCTG, based in Taylors Lane, Oldbury.
The collaboration between Unipart Automotive, Impact Training Solutions, BCTG and the Learning and Skills Council was launched at Partco Autoparts Ltd, in Walter Street, Birmingham.
