Professional petroleum tanker drivers perform potentially hazardous and important function in the distribution of petroleum products.

The course manual can also be converted to Pidgin English if required. The training cost is very affordable and revenue can be shared with the union/association (revenue generation). Each successfully trained driver will be issued a card that the union can enforce or check at different points.

The program is designed to assist them in learning about the industry and their duties, we have partnered with world renowned petroleum industry experts in conjunction with various petroleum carriers, to produce this program to acquaint drivers with safe product handling practices. This contains information and guidelines that are standard throughout the industry. It represents the minimum level of professional knowledge and understanding that is required to safely deliver products to all of our customers.

This is been developed into an Android and IOS App as well as eLearning for ease of deployment to all tanker drivers nationwide.

The manual is split into Two Parts.
