The centres include a ‘mock motorway’ comprising a white lined, four lane carriageway used to simulate the unique pressures of an average motorway. The centres will also provide classroom facilities to enable pre/post review and wider associated technical learning.

This is the second project that Capita Symonds’ Technology team has won since it was appointed to the Traffic Officer Training Framework, which is used to procure all health and safety training for the traffic officer service, last year.
