Professional driver training online

What is usually considered the first rule when resources become scarce? Use them more sparingly and more efficiently!

Due to the shortage of personnel and skilled workers in the logistics industry, the working time of truck drivers is now considered a scarce resource.

Potential for more optimal use lies, among other things, in the time required for legally mandated training, such as the BKrF continuing education (according to the Professional Drivers Qualification Act (BKrFQG) in Germany or the Basic Qualification and Continuing Education Ordinance – Professional Drivers (GWB) in Austria).

Bus and truck drivers are required to participate in this continuing education course every five years. It applies to all drivers who operate vehicles of categories C/CE, C1/C1E, D1/D1E, and D/DE for commercial purposes. The course lasts 35 hours (of 60 minutes each), with training units of at least seven hours. Upon proof of participation, code 95 on the driver's license is renewed.

Since April 2018, EU Directive 2018/645 has allowed 12 of the total 35 hours of training to be completed via e-learning, thus significantly reducing the time truck drivers spend away from home due to in-person instruction. Such digital training enables freight forwarding companies to efficiently utilize "dead time," such as that which occurs at every loading and unloading point, where drivers wait an average of over 1.5 hours.

Your opportunity as a training institution or logistics company with many advantages.

  • flexibility
    Drivers can complete the training anytime, anywhere, as long as they have an internet connection. This allows them to learn even during waiting times or while traveling.
  • Time efficiency
    By avoiding travel time to in-person events, drivers can use their time more effectively and progress through the learning content faster.
  • Individual learning pace
    Each driver can determine their own learning pace, take breaks and repeat content until the material is understood.
  • Proven system
    With approximately 80,000 users - precisely tailored to the transport and logistics industry
  • Interactive learning methods
    Modern learning platforms offer interactive elements such as videos, quizzes and simulations that make learning more interesting and effective.
  • sense of community
    Although learning takes place digitally, forums and discussion groups can foster a sense of community among learners and facilitate the exchange of experiences and tips. (optional)
  • Security
    SPEDIFORT runs in compliance with data protection regulations in a Frankfurt data center.
  • Multilingualism
    Many SPEDIFORT resources are already available in multiple languages ​​or can be translated if needed.
