NOOTEBOOM ACADEMY KNOWLEDGE THAT GETS YOU THERE 1

Abnormal transport is specialist work. Vehicles have been big, heavy and wide for quite a while, but machines are now getting more advanced all the time so that the volume and economic value of the loads keep increasing. Add to this the changes in laws and regulations, stricter enforcement requirements, stricter emission standards and extra traffic volume and it is clear that for the drivers in abnormal transport their responsibility and accountability grows. Time after time the bar is raised. On a technical, material and personal level. PROPERLY TRAINED PERSONNEL? Specialist work on the road...

‘PRACTICE-BASED TRANSFER OF KNOWLEDGE IS THE STARTING POINT’ “Our instructors and trainers all have a great deal of experience in abnormal transport and therefore understand the kind of situations the driver finds himself in every day. On the road, but also during loading/unloading in the construction industry, in industrial environments and in petro-chemical industries. This practice-based transfer of knowledge is the starting point of our courses. It will be easier for the participants to put into practice what they learn. This will improve the efficiency, safety and quality of the work they...

THE NOOTEBOOM ACADEMY IN ACTION ‘AT LAST PRACTICAL TRAINING WITH OUR OWN LOW-LOADER’ “We were looking for a practical training course for our own low-loader, preferable run by people who know the equipment. We soon ended up at the Nooteboom Academy. We sat down with one of their technicians and instructors and together we drew up a ‘Zweverink programme’. Tailor-made, specifically aimed at our requirements and in accordance with the Code 95 rules. Ten people from our company attended the course, so not just our drivers. This was a conscious decision. Ten people know more than one. Also, more people...

‘SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE IS INVALUABLE’ “We are soon hitting the road with four new Nooteboom-MANOOVRs, so together with seven of our drivers I followed a special MANOOVR training course at the Nooteboom Academy. They told us about abnormal transport in general, explained the most important technical details and we carried out a number of tasks outside, in groups. The course, which could earn you the required Code 95 hours, was practical and to the point. Thanks to the experienced instructor who knew the equipment like the back of his hand. This is such a difference compared with instructors in general...
