Nrmca Offers Online Driver Training Program

Originally developed with input from ready mixed producers of all sizes throughout North America, National Ready Mixed Concrete Association’s Concrete Delivery Professional (CDP) Certification Program recently has been adapted to an online format, offering an individualized, self-paced learning tool to complete the mixer driver training curriculum without direct instructor intervention. Also eliminating the need for proctors, the program further allows drivers to take the certification exam online. CDP Online learning segments run approximately 20 minutes with a stop/start action, so the program is available whenever drivers have time and Internet access.

Notes NRMCA President Robert Garbini, CDP Online allows companies to use drivers’ downtime between loads and on bad weather days productively and efficiently. The material is quick-paced, visual and delivered in small increments with a voiceover and subtitles to assure that NRMCA supports all drivers, including those with reading and hearing disabilities.
