DVSA is looking to procure the services of a contractor to deliver Digital and Calibration Tachograph training. DVSA regulate the tachograph calibration centres and require Traffic Examiner staff, who conduct the site approvals, to understand the process of calibrating tachographs, as part of the approval process of the Approved Tachograph Centres (ATC).  The staff involved in the approval and monitoring of the ATC are geographically spread across the UK and undertake regular inspections of the sites and operations.
