The Road Safety GB Academy has unveiled its calendar of training courses for the summer of 2026.
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 delivered in a Zoom virtual classroom, meaning candidates can participate from the convenience of their home or office.
The newly-announced courses are as follows:

Road Safety Evaluation Course
Often road safety practitioners recognise the need to evaluate but are concerned that they do not have the skills to complete an appropriate level of evaluation. This course aims to provide the practitioner with these skills and to help them to recognise when they may need to consider accessing external support.
