Is the Vulnerable Road User (VRU) Training course mandatory to obtain CLOCS-A Accreditation?

Yes. As part of the CLOCS-A Standard, specific training and competency criteria are established for drivers of heavy construction vehicles. These requirements must be met by the organisation and project they are associated with in order to obtain accreditation to the CLOCS-A Standard. It includes training standards for drivers, with a focus on “Vulnerable Road User Awareness” for accreditation.

The VRU training program consists of three levels:

  • Bronze
  • Silver, and
  • Gold.

Advancing to the VRU Silver level requires completion of the VRU Bronze training, which serves as a prerequisite for the VRU Gold level.

Training can be held in two ways:

  1. In-house facilitation using handouts/ PowerPoint-style through a registered training provider, or
  2. Via eLearning-style module. Learn more here.
