Transport Department to launch Quality Driving Instructor Course

The Transport Department tomorrow (December 18) will launch the Quality Driving Instructor Course.

A department spokesman said the course, which was jointly organised by the department and the Hong Kong Centre for Transport and Logistics, will enrich instructor's professional knowledge and enhance their professional competency.

Everyone with a valid Hong Kong driving instructor licence may attend the course on a voluntary basis. The course has four sessions, and each session lasts for three hours. Apart from strengthening the participants knowledge of vehicles, the latest road regulations and key points for the driving test, it also aims to improve communication skills and teaching methods, such as skills for tuition and encouraging questions, so that the driving instructors can provide the best quality services to learners.

Driving instructors attending all sessions and passing the assessment at the end of the course will be issued a certificate. The course fee is $550. For enquiries, please contact the Transport Department on 2714 9442 or the Hong Kong Centre for Transport and Logistics on 2435 9421 or 9868 7996.
