OREANDA-NEWS. An evaluation meeting of the European Commission co-funded SEED (South East Europe harmonised qualification of professional Drivers) project has taken place, marking the halfway point in the project’s lifespan, which concludes in August 2017.

SEED aims to provide training and develop technical skills for instructors who provide initial and periodic training to truck drivers in the South Eastern region of Europe. It helps European countries meet there obligations under European legislation and the ECMT Quality Charter to ensure drivers are fully trained in order to gain access to European Union roads.

The meeting provided the opportunity to assess the progress of key project elements, such as training materials and course curricula for trainers and begin practical planning for the project’s next step of delivering Train-The-Trainer sessions and a driver workshop later in the year.
