Community Transport Training Network (CTTN)
The Community Transport Association of Ireland (CTAI) has secured a grant of - €50,000 under The Wheel’s Training Links Programme, which is funded by the Department of Enterprise, Trade & Employment. This funding will match the funding for training received under the INTERREG IIIA Ireland/Northern Ireland Programme for the Community Transport Advice & Information Service.
The main aim of the Community Transport Training Network is to provide capacity building for its members through certified training for trainers programmes, such as the MiDAS Driver Assessor Trainer and the PATS Passenger Assistant Trainer courses; and the Social Audit Technician course accredited by the Institute of Social Auditing of Ireland. Training has been targeted at both members of staff and management committees. It enables network members, most of which are small groups, to access training in a more cost effective manner than they would be able to do on their own. Training materials, some of which are being “localised” for conditions in Ireland, have been designed specifically for community transport organisations. The successful application was based on a training needs review of 20 organisations in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland undertaken by CTAIS staff in 2006.The training network has now been extended to cover all members of the CTAI and 7 of the Rural Community Transport Partnerships in NI.
Membership of the CTTN was open to all CTAI and CTA NI Members
