LGV Instructor Training Course

The NRI, launched in January 2017, succeeded the DVSA voluntary LGV Instructor Register, which closed on 31st December 2016. With an independent database and regular audits by the governance committee, the NRI ensures quality, standards, and neutrality.

Craig Baker Driver Training is an approved NRI examination centre and offers courses to prepare candidates for the NRI examination.

Aims and Objectives
