Training and education

Access Essentials

To further support local government in their challenging role as road mangers, we are developing eLearning training and resources in a new program called Access Essentials.

The SLGAAP learning strategy is to improve road manager capability through training to:

  • demystify the asset assessment process
  • give insight into how to interpret engineering reports
  • provide an understanding on how to apply risk-based assessments for better network use.

The framework developed for the Access Essentials course established a range of capabilities critical to the role of road managers. Courses will be published soon.
