What is Modular Training?
The VR modules were designed as a joint effort from Automotive Skills and The Institute of Vehicle Recovery for their certification and training programme of recovery operators. They have now become the accepted standard to instruct and train Rescue and Recovery Operators as part of the National Training and Certification Scheme specified by the National Highways Sector Scheme Sub-Committee (NHSS 17)
The aim, as always, remains to provide Rescue and Recovery operators with the necessary knowledge and skills to improve standards of operation and safety throughout the industry.
IVR (UK) Ltd was appointed as the office of the Regulator for the Rescue and Recovery Industry National Training and Accreditation Scheme, under the direction of the National Highways Sector Scheme Training subcommittee - NHSS17.
The Regulator's role is to administer and further develop and implement a national policy for the Training and Certification of Recovery Operators and Technicians working on Britain's road network.
