The Road Safety GB Academy has unveiled its calendar of training courses for the second quarter of 2024.
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.

The schedule includes a newly-launched course, titled Health and the Environment, for practitioners who wish to improve their knowledge and understanding of these issues. The first running of this course takes place 24 April 2024.
The full schedule for Q2 2024 is as follows:
