Who is TTC? 

Founded in 1993, TTC is now the UK’s largest and most established road safety training organisation. TTC employs more than 700 trainers nationwide and delivers more than a million hours of training in more than 300 locations and online every year worldwide. 

TTC’s pioneering work in offender rehabilitation has made it a watchword in driver training innovation. They remain the only organisation approved to deliver Drink Drive Rehabilitation Scheme (DDRS) courses to all UK court areas.  In addition, they deliver National Driver Offender Retraining Scheme (NDORS) courses, the Bikeability scheme, corporate and fleet driver training, and risk management and compliance sector.  TTC’s reach now goes far beyond the UK to Australia, Europe and the United States. 

In May 2021, they developed their pioneering digital and data platform, Continuum to support the above and in 2024 they included Miad (Healthcare) and Synergie Training (Construction Training) into their portfolio and rebranded all their products into one single name – TTC (Trusted Training and Compliance). 

Why should ADI’s consider TTC? 

Becky from Carlisle has been an ADI for over 14 years and has her own driving school for the last 12.  Here’s why Becky decided to join. 

“It wasn’t so much that I wanted to supplement my earnings; rather, I was looking for a change from the day-to-day routine of being an ADI. Doing the same thing day in, and day out, I felt the need for something different. 

TTC had advertised for ADIs to come on board and deliver courses for them. I decided to apply, and I haven’t looked back since. I now deliver a range of courses, including on-road coaching for qualified drivers, BE training, post-collision courses for business drivers (through referrals), and National Driver Offender Training courses, such as Safe and Considerate Driving and Speed Awareness. 

The variety and change have been very welcome, as I now deliver training in-vehicle, online, and in the classroom.” 

What are the benefits for you? 

“The training I have received since coming on board has been phenomenal. I have learnt new skills that I can now apply to my in-car training with my learners, which is an added benefit. 

Delivering NSAC (online from home) has been a game changer for me, as it fits in perfectly around family life. I can now be home for bedtime and say goodnight to my little boy – something I couldn’t do before when I was always out on the road. School holidays have always been a challenge, trying to balance my ADI work with finding childcare. However, with TTC, I can now plan my delivery around my family life, meaning I get to spend my days with my little boy while still earning what I need to support my family – doing something I love and feel passionate about. 

What additional Training did you need? 

“When I first applied to TTC, I was initially brought in to deliver on-road training. They suggested that to maximise my income potential, it would be beneficial for me to complete a Level 3 Award in Education and Training (AET) qualification, allowing me to diversify into online and classroom workshops. 

I enrolled on the AET course in the same week that I joined TTC. I completed the qualification alongside my driving school work and really enjoyed it, as it gave me something to strive for. Then, when the opportunity arose to deliver workshops, I applied and was accepted for training. 

Their training was excellent and highly supportive, and once again, I found I could transfer many of the skills I use in-car to the workshops and vice versa, as the two complement each other so well.” 

So, why do you enjoy working for TTC? 

“I really enjoy working for TTC because you’re not just a number, you’re part of the family. I have worked for myself for 12 years, and before that, I ran a franchise for two years. To be honest, I felt like just a number there. 

TTC took the time to get to know me, ask what I wanted from working with them, and provide me with every opportunity to develop and push myself further. 

I’m loving the variety of opportunities being presented to me (Commercial driver training, Police NDORS, CPC and LGV), and I’m embracing them all. The TTC management, staff, and support teams are amazing. They understand that family comes first, and that ethos means a lot to me. 

Nothing is ever too much trouble for TTC; they genuinely strive to support you in every way they can. I’m looking forward to the year ahead, with so many training opportunities already booked in, and I can’t wait to see where TTC will take me next.”
