TTC Group secures Welsh police contract

TTC Group has won the contract to deliver driver education courses for Gwent, South Wales and North Wales Police.

This means it will continue its relationship with the three forces for a further four years, providing training and awareness programmes under the National Driver Offender Retraining Scheme (NDORS).

This will involve delivering National Speed Awareness; Safe and Considerate Driving; Rider Intervention and Development Experience; “What’s Driving Us?”; and National Motorway Awareness courses in both English and Welsh.

Following the introduction of two Welsh language co-ordinators in 2018, TTC Group continues to recruit even more Welsh speaking trainers to add to its expert team of experienced trainers.

Mick Hartill, TTC Group regional manager for North Wales, said: “Significant work has also gone into making sure the content is engaging and our 25-strong team of trainers all have extensive experience and a track record of supporting individuals in a way that gets results. All of this has helped us secure 99% client satisfaction rate for our work with police forces.”

TTC Group delivers NDORS courses on behalf of 14 police forces throughout England, Scotland and Wales.

Sharon Haynes, director of TTC Group, said: “We have been working in Wales since 2009 and this latest contract award will take us through to 2024. In addition to the driving training programme, we have also successfully introduced the Alcohol Diversion Programme commissioned by the police and crime commissioner for Gwent.

“The initiative gives first-time offenders the chance to swap their convictions and a £95 fine for the chance to attend a two-hour training course that will educate them in the effects of excessive drinking on their body, lives and the community. Thousands of people are already choosing this approach.”
