CarriersEdge announced that its interactive learning approach is available in a series of new Border Crossing/C-TPAT courses for drivers. Course topics are Security and Threat Awareness, Security Inspections, and Successful Border Crossing.

Motor carriers with C-TPAT (Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) certification are required to perform inspections and provide driver training. CarriersEdge Border Crossing/C-TPAT courses help ensure that drivers are prepared at the border and inspections are completed properly.

The training courses are divided into four modules, which can be completed separately or at one time. Included are a single course incorporating all modules that is designed for orientation purposes, and these three modules for refresher or remedial training:

•C-TPAT/PIP Security and Threat Awareness covers five main areas where possible security issues can arise, including at the terminal, before the trip, on the road, during a stop, and during a delivery. It also covers threat awareness including such topics as how to recognize suspicious behavior, communication practices, and how to handle a hijacking.

•C-TPAT/PIP Security Inspections covers when and how to conduct a security inspection on trailers or containers and on security seals, and how these practices differ from regular pre-trip inspections.

•Successful Border Crossing covers how to minimize a driver’s chances of facing long delays at the US/Canada border by focusing on border security and customs pre-clearance programs, personal identification needs, vehicle requirements, and a variety of best practices.

CarriersEdge courses are designed to provide interactive training for drivers, regardless of their learning style, age or industry experience. This instructional approach fosters a deeper understanding of course material than video-based offerings by fully engaging drivers in the e-learning process.
