Working in the transport sector requires a lot of knowledge about driver safety, vehicle dynamics, vehicle mass, dimensions and HPMV permits for drivers.

Whether you’re starting out in your driving career or are already an experienced driver, or you’re an operator who is looking to upskill your staff, gaining foundation knowledge of the industry provides truck drivers with extra skills and know-how to really boost their careers.

MITO’s micro-credentials provide foundation knowledge for employees and owner-operators in the commercial road transport industry. Smaller than a qualification, micro-credentials certify achievement of a specific set of skills and knowledge and are approved by NZQA.
