Notice Information
Notice Title
Air Brake Training 2025
Notice Description
DVSA is looking to procure the services of a contractor to deliver Air Brake Training for approximately 210 delegates in total over an initial three year contract period. DVSA enforcement Vehicle Examiners (VE) are required to conduct examinations of large goods vehicles and public services vehicles. These checks can be part of a roadside inspection, fleet inspection or post collision investigation. To be able to conduct a full technical inspection the VE needs to have working knowledge of basic air brake systems as well as more advanced and current technology employed in large vehicle braking systems. VEs knowledge may be questioned by operators of commercial vehicles subjected to mechanical brake component and system prohibition notices. Post Collision Examiners (PCE) need in-depth knowledge to allow investigations following vehicle collisions. PCEs are required to provide detailed written technical reports with supporting oral evidence to the Police. These reports are often subjected to close review by defence councils and industry experts.
