Training is all about showing people how to do something. For someone to train others, he/she must be a subject matter expert. I've seen people claiming themselves to be trainers but lacks practical skills. There are people coming into this country to make huge bucks by just talking in the classrooms and becoming safety corps watching poor students struggling in getting things right on the roads especially when it comes to truck driver training. This has to stop! It must. Companies has to source trainers with the technical know how to fully train our drivers. Training is skills and knowledge transfer. why bringing in people who are not qualified or experienced. Oh yeah, people who can not even drive trucks who are used for training. Trainers must do commentary drive for the students to fully grasp the safe driving concepts they deliver in the classrooms. I choose private yards to do demos before taking students onto the public roads. The initial driving has to be by me all time doing commentary drive. Information transfer mostly happens during commentary drive. #safedriving #training #trucks

Full support brother. There are also upcoming PNG SME training institutions struggling to get on board in the industry, let's hold their hand and work with them whenever opportunities presents until they are up on their feet. We will grow old, the industry will remain a challenge for the future generations if we don't do anything now.

Totally agree, all my trainings include demonstration drives by myself and then coaching the trainees. Just returned from a training trip to South Africa where we did yard and on the road training. There is no classroom training that can replace real driving, both fills a function but the balance must be right.
