A new ‘one-stop’ booking site that can help operators streamline training rollout is now available from Logistics UK.
The website provides access across its virtual and in-person training courses, providing support for every aspect of the logistics industry, including essential mandatory training, Transport Manager CPC and Driver CPC.
The new booking hub shows real-time course availability and allows multiple courses and candidates to be booked in one go. Courses can also be paid for online instantly, streamlining the booking process even further
Logistics UK delivers training to 35,000 delegates every year, providing a wide range of courses for all roles, from drivers and managers, through to engineers, planners and directors. Training is delivered through face-to-face classroom sessions held at various locations nationwide or via an online portal.
Investing in training and development is critical for upskilling transport professionals but also motivating them. According to LinkedIn’s Workplace Learning and Development Report, 94% of employees say they would stay longer with a company if it invested in their career development. The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) estimates the cost of replacing an employee is six to nine months of their salary, so a structured training and development programme can deliver tangible business benefits.
Kevin Green, director of policy and communications at Logistics UK, said: “Our commitment to delivering industry-leading multimodal training remains unchallenged across the sector and is a demonstration of how we are achieving our mission to support, shape, and stand-up for safe and efficient logistics. Training has demonstrable benefits for business as well as individuals and in addition to providing access to mandatory industry training, our new booking hub also offers professional development courses, making it easier for logistics businesses to upskill their workforce and remain compliant.”
Logistics UK training courses are available to everyone across the industry, with members receiving significant savings on the cost of training. The trade association also offers in-company training, tailored to organisations’ specific requirements. More details are here.
