Equate the Virtual Classroom to the face-to-face modality in training dependent on the DGTT.2. Publish the OM that regulates Teletraining in CAP courses for professional drivers3. Promote vocational training as an access route, and with Driving Licenses, for professional drivers. In relation to the first measure, of equating the Virtual Classroom with face-to-face training, in those educational objectives that do not require practical training, the Cluster argued that other administrations, which also provide training specialties related to transportation, have legislated to equalize both modalities, using as an example the Resolution of November 24, 2023 of the General Directorate of the State Public Employment Service, in its article 2 establishes the "use of virtual classroom as face-to-face training". The virtual classroom is presented as a bet for the future as indicated by the SEPE. Furthermore, this resource not only represents a suitable teaching tool, but also facilitates access to training for a significantly larger number of participants. This accessibility extends to those who, due to time restrictions or geographical location, could not participate in traditional face-to-face training. The Academic Cluster would like to express its gratitude for the treatment received by the entire DGTC team and in relation to this meeting. shows its total willingness to collaborate with them whenever they need.
