Answer
I am unclear on what the Member is referring to.
However, Level 2 Driving Goods Vehicles and Level 3 Driving Goods Vehicles apprenticeship frameworks are already available through the ApprenticeshipsNI programme for eligible applicants.
Both apprenticeship frameworks include knowledge-based and competence-based qualifications in driving a range of goods vehicles including articulated vehicles. Skills that require mandatory training, such as HGV licensing, are not funded or delivered by the Department for the Economy.
