Benefits of becoming an NRI Exam Centre

If you provide LGV Instructor and/or Assessor training already, you may also be able to offer on-site NRI examinations at the end of your training process.

As an Exam Centre, you could generate additional income by renting out your vehicles and classroom space to candidates wishing to sit the NRI examination

Many UK businesses look for the NRI qualification when employing Instructors or engaging with training providers, so it will also help you to attract more business.
