    As most of you are aware, TfNSW recently conducted an audit of all SDC Providers.

    • One of the areas identified as lacking was Professional Development (PD) and refresher training for our Facilitators and Coaches.

      With this in mind, NSWDTA is planning several PD / refresher days during the next 6 months.

      This will be free of charge to current NSWDTA members, who are already accredited in Mod 1 and/or Mod 2 to deliver the courses. The day is open to non members however there is a charge of $100 for Mod 1, $100 for Mod 2, if you are doing both modules it will cost $175. 

      Anthony Cope will be facilitating the day.

    2025 Conference:  Road Ready: Equipping Drivers for the Future  
    As technology, infrastructure, and community expectations evolve, so too must the way we prepare drivers for the road. This year’s conference explores how driver trainers can adapt, lead, and innovate to meet the needs of tomorrow’s road users. From foundations of road safety and driving standards through to integrating emerging vehicle technologies and safety systems, this event will empower instructors with the knowledge, skills, and resources to shape confident, responsible drivers for the future. Together, we’ll redefine what it means to be truly “road ready.” 

    Join us for two days of discussions with industry peers, discover new innovations, and stay ahead with the latest updates shaping our field. This is your opportunity to expand your network, exchange ideas, and gain insights from leading voices in the industry.
