• Instructors are required to train at least one new LCV driver per year. ALL training records must be sent to the STA.

• Proof of formal training regarding instruction or facilitation and/or proof of experience in the role of a safety professional, or a workplace instructor or facilitator.
• Letter of recommendation from current employer.
• Resume.

Restrictions:

• Certification cannot be transferred within the company.
• Should the instructor change companies, their certification is void.
• If ongoing certification requirements aren’t being met, such as registering drivers trained with the STA, their certification is void.
• Certification is revoked if the company does not renew their membership with STA.

After the initial training is completed, carriers must ensure that they review their permit conditions with the driver and issue a certificate (wallet card) indicating they have reviewed permit conditions, current regulations, the operators’ drivers’ abstract and any issues pertaining to the operation of LCVs. This certificate must be issued with a one-year expiry date. The review of permit conditions must be completed at least annually.
