What happens if a driver does the same course twice within the one cycle?2023-04-27T12:57:00+01:00

The responsibility always lies with the driver.  However, if you do all your training with TFI Local Link Louth Meath Fingal we keep our records up to date so we can check when your booking your course each year and ensure this is avoided.

If you are doing your training in different training centers you should always contact the RSA on 096-25015 to confirm your courses completed before doing additional courses.

If a driver is not currently working, can they get assistance to cover the cost of the course?2023-04-27T12:58:15+01:00

If a driver is on Social Welfare, then they can speak to their local “Solas” office (Previously FÁS) and see if they can get funding to attend the course. There is paperwork that needs to be filled in by TFI Local Link Louth Meath Fingal, so they should go to their local DSP office as soon as they can. Processing can take up to two weeks. Until the form has been approved by FÁS, no courses should take place for the driver,
No discounts are given to drivers coming through Solas, as there is a lot of paperwork to be done after they have completed their training.
