Opcedo fourth approved training programme for light vehicle recovery

Wednesday 11 June 2008
Stichting Incident Management Nederland has decided to issue formal approval of the Light Vehicle Recovery training programme provided by Opcedo, a training institute in Donkerbroek. Over the past few months, Stichting Incident Management Nederland has investigated whether the training initiative by Opcedo meets the criteria formulated by Stichting Incident Management Nederland for the approval of recovery training courses. The investigations have shown that the course at Opcedo meets all these criteria. As a result, as from today, Opcedo is recognised as a recovery training programme in the framework of the quality requirements imposed by Stichting Incident Management Nederland (in particular requirement C1) and the contract conditions (in particular article 8.4) for the contract period 2007 - 2010.

Over the past few months, Stichting Incident Management Nederland has also been investigating whether the previously recognised training courses from SOMA (formerly Fundeon), STIMO and Logicx still meet the approval requirements. In all cases, the requirements are still fully met. As a result, as from today, recovery companies can choose from four training programmes to ensure compliance with the training requirements imposed by Stichting Incident Management Nederland for carrying out recovery work on IM roads.
