Online driver training provider DT Driver Training has been acquired by TR Group to sit alongside its Master Drive Services brand, adding further options for both light and heavy vehicle training.

Neil Bretherton, general manager strategic development at TR Group, says the aim is to provide a broader service to its heavy vehicle clients as well as strengthening the company's focus on technology and learning.

"TR Group and Master Drive already provide practical and online driver training to a wide range of clients. DT Driver Training will help us more effectively serve clients who have multiple different vehicle types, as well as provide efficiencies in how we create and deliver learning options."

DT Driver Training's e-learning platform serves over 140,000 users a month. It is the largest provider of learner licence theory training and has an impressive roster of corporate clients from government and industry, Bretherton adds. The site already features courses from other driver training providers, something that TR Group is keen to expand on.
