The NRI, also known as the National Register of Instructors endorsed by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA). The National Vocational Driving Instructor Registration (NVDIR) are also approved and recognised by the DVSA.
Developed by the industry, for the industry, the Register was established and launched in December 2016. They were replacement for the DVSA’s voluntary LGV Instructor Register and the RTITB Register of Professional Instructors.
The not-for-profit Register is operated by RTITB. Also, they are supported by Logistics UK and the Road Haulage Association (RHA). The NRI also issues AFV (alternatively fuelled vehicles) training certification to drivers. They also support those delivering training and/or assessment to Category BE licence holders.
NRI supply three types of registrations
- LGV assessors
- Driver CPC instructors
An exclusive examination body, the NRI monitors the standards outlined at examination centres such as 2 Start. They also set the criteria for these exams.
The objectives the NRI have outlined are
- Agree & maintain a set of standards for the skills and underpinning knowledge required to be an effective LGV Instructor, LGV Assessor or Driver CPC Instructor.
- Improve the standard of instruction and assessment for LGV and instruction for Driver CPC.
- Increase the number of Registered LGV Instructors/Assessors and Driver CPC Instructors.
- Contribute to an improvement in the national pass rate of LGV vocational tests.
The NRI believe that by encouraging the high LGV instruction standards, assessment and mentoring will help improve driving standards and safety on the road.
2 Start aim to have all of their LGV instructors accredited by the NRI.
