The Road Safety GB Academy has unveiled its calendar of training courses for the first quarter of 2023.
Established in 2013, the RSGB Academy is the professional development arm of Road Safety GB. The Academy helps road safety practitioners enhance their skills in order to deliver effective, evidence-led road safety interventions.
All of the courses offered in the Academy’s programme are being delivered in a Zoom virtual classroom, meaning candidates can participate from the convenience of their home or office.
The courses for which places are now available are as follows:

It will provide them with a wider understanding of the relationship between the built environment and the ‘road user’, enabling them to explore, design and implement infrastructure that will take into account the limitations of the ‘human’ in the system.
