DAY 2 | Advancing Professional Driver Training and Assessment in Uganda.
The journey towards a more skilled, competent and professional driving workforce continues!
Thursday, 5 November 2026, marked Day 2of the three-day Technical Review Workshop for Assessment and Training Packages (ATPs) for Professional Drivers, organised by the Uganda Vocational and Technical Assessment Board (@UVTABOfficial) in collaboration with the Uganda Professional Drivers' Network (@uganda_drivers).
Held at Esella Country Hotel, Kira, the workshop has brought together Sector Skills Experts from the Ministry of Education and Sports (@Educ_SportsUg), industry practitioners and other key stakeholders to review and refine the draft ATPs.
The technical review focuses on strengthening occupational competencies, learning outcomes, training content and assessment requirements to ensure alignment with Uganda's Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) framework and the evolving needs of the transport industry.
This collaborative process contributes to Uganda's broader TVET reform agenda, supported by the TVET Council of Uganda (@TVETCouncilUg), towards industry-relevant training standards, recognised professional qualifications and a more competent driving workforce.
At UPDN, we remain committed to advancing driver professionalisation through quality training, recognised competencies and stronger industry standards.
Better Skills. Safer Roads. Professional Drivers.
