Training courses, qualifications & training providers for the vehicle recycling industry

TRAINING


PART WORN TYRES

Tyres are a ‘safety critical item’ and the correct checking, labelling & fitting of ‘part worn tyres’ is a legal requirement.  The MVDA has written a brief guidance document, which is free to members and can be downloaded from the members ‘documents’ area.  The MVDA is also working with Training For Profit to deliver on-site training specifically for part-worn tyres.  The course is IMI-accredited, and is undertaken at your own premises, and involves both theory and practical work.  The content is shown in the MVDA guidance.  You can also contact PFT directly.  MVDA members get a discount.
