Training Workshops for RAK Driving Instructors Soon
RAS AL KHAIMAH — The Traffic and Licensing Department in Ras Al Khaimah will introduce training workshops for trainers and instructors in all driving schools across the emirate, starting early next year.
The move follows several complaints from driving licence seekers about the repeated failure in tests, which is being attributed to the lack of quality trainers in most of the driving schools in the emirate.
Col. Nasser Salem Al Muraddad, Director of the Traffic and Licensing Department, said plans are under way to introduce training workshops for all trainers in various driving schools in the emirate to equip them with relevant training skills and to teach them more about the traffic rules and regulations, which they are supposed to pass on to their trainees or learners.
He stressed that the training workshops, which will be mandatory to all trainers in the emirate, would be conducted weekly by officials from the Traffic Police in coordination with the RAK Driving Academy.
“The workshops would help provide good training skills to the trainers or instructors, which would help them in providing quality training to the learners. The trainers of various driving schools will also learn about the relevant traffic rules and regulations and road manners, which they are supposed to pass on to the applicants of driving licenses so that they could become good drivers,” said Al Muraddad.
According to Al Muraddad, the training workshops are intended to curb the repeated failure in driving tests by some applicants due to the poor training in addition to producing good drivers with driving disciplines which would help in reducing road accidents in the emirate.
“The best method of reducing accidents is providing good training to the learners, through teaching them good driving skills and the need for strict adherence to the traffic rules and regulations,” he added.
The Traffic Department had recently distributed letters to all driving schools in the emirate, urging them to equip their trainers with good quality training skills and to acquire enough knowledge on traffic rules and regulations and other information.
Waled Khalid, a trainer at RAK Driving School in Ras Al Khaimah, hailed the idea of introducing training workshops for trainers stressing that it would improve the quality of trainers in the emirate.
The Traffic and Licensing Department had opened the Ras Al Khaimah Driving Academy last year, where the basic information of driving and road disciplines is imparted to learners before their training begins.
