The AEC platform has been developed with an international focus, and is intended to meet the demands of road technicians and managers. It is backed by the Vial Ibero-American Institute (IVIA), which is also contributing to the concept. The initial tools available on the platform address road safety but this teaching platform will also include modules on the environment, finance, road transport or storage for example. The AEC is also looking to develop the platform with the backing of a number of universities and research bodies that specialise in road infrastructure. Students completing and who pass assessment tests will receive appropriate training certificates.
