Travel Training is the process by which an individual learns how to complete a specified journey between two places independently and safely. The travel training programme offers tailored one to one training to learners to enable them to make a journey that is individual to them, using the bus or train, or on foot. Travel Training aims to help people travel independently and without fear to school, college, work, placements, or other key services.
