Apprenticeship aids
(1) Appropriate teaching tools (manuals, complementary literature, paintings, films, mass-produced functional models, training tables, etc.) are used to train drivers; these aids can only be produced in bulk after prior approval by the Ministry of Transport. Authorised organisations are required to complement teaching tools to match current technical developments and vehicles newly introduced into road traffic.

Individual driver training
Individual training *) must respect the scope of the training set out in the curriculum. However, it may also be carried out on vehicles which do not comply with the requirements of § 7 (1) and (5) or, where applicable, on vehicles of non-running type.
Further increase in driver skills
Safe, smooth and economical road traffic, as well as new means of transport, require that the professional and technical level of drivers continuously and consistently increase and consolidate. In particular, they shall serve to perform this task:
(a) driver training;
(b) regular compulsory training of professional drivers;
(c) education and other professional growth of other drivers.
Driver training
Driver training method
(1) If the driver is to be entrusted with a vehicle in which he does not have experience, the organisation shall, at his request, allow him to train on the vehicle under the guidance of the instructor.
(2) Training shall be carried out in normal operation and, where applicable, the economic performance of the vehicle under the supervision of the instructor.
Driver training instructors
Instructors for the training of motor vehicle and combination drivers shall be designated by the training organisation from among its staff, and by disciplined and competent drivers who have sufficient experience in driving the relevant type of vehicle. The driver training instructor need not be certified for teachers; does not assume the duties and responsibilities of the driver during training.
Regular compulsory training of professional drivers
Method and scope of compulsory instruction
(1) Regular compulsory training for professional drivers (hereinafter referred to as "compulsory training") is carried out by organisations for which the driver is employed and, where appropriate, by cooperative organisations of which he is a member, in the competitive (cooperative) employment schools. For this purpose they provide the necessary conditions (instructors of compulsory instruction, suitable room, teaching aids, etc.).
(2) Organisations for which it would not be expedient and economical to organise compulsory training on their own shall be associated with the joint compulsory training with other organisations or shall, where appropriate, entrust the implementation of this activity to Swaziland.
(3) Compulsory instruction shall be carried out at least 40 hours per year, i.e. usually 4 hours per month. This period shall be counted against the working time of drivers and shall be paid by their average hourly wage. One eight-hour working day in a two-month cycle may be reserved for this compulsory instruction. Mandatory training must be planned in such a way that all professional drivers pass through it and that the organisation's own operation is not jeopardised.
(4) As a rule, more than 35 drivers are not required to participate in one compulsory training course. The teaching hour lasts 50 minutes, breaks between each teaching hour 10 minutes.
(5) The organisation shall keep an accurate record of the mandatory instruction. Unexcused non-participation in compulsory instruction shall be deemed to be an unjustified absence of the driver at work.
(6) Drivers who have missed at least 8 hours of mandatory instruction in the last three months shall be required to participate in replacement training on the same topic, including, where appropriate, other organisations.
(7) The organisation sending drivers to another organisation shall discuss the classification of its drivers for compulsory training with that organisation, which shall include them in its register (paragraph 5) and shall charge the sending organisation for the relevant amount of costs within the meaning of Article 16.
(8) The Ministry of Transport issues an annual framework thematic programme for compulsory training; *) when processing the syllabus of individual topics, the organisation will take into account in particular its transport activities and the composition of its fleet.
Instruction instructors
(1) Driver training or discipline teachers, professional and experienced drivers and, where appropriate, other road and urban transport professionals shall perform the duties of instructors.
(2) On a proposal from the organisation, instructors shall be approved by the relevant national committee (§ 1 (3)) in agreement with the District Transport Inspectorate of Public Security.
(3) External speakers, such as from the District Institute of National Health, State Insurance companies, legal advice, Swaziland, production or repair plant, can be invited to expert lectures on transport topics.
Payment of costs
The reimbursement of the costs of compulsory training shall be governed by the rules applicable to the labour racing schools. The costs of compulsory training undertaken jointly for drivers of several organisations shall be borne by those organisations in proportion to the number of drivers who participated in the compulsory training. If the compulsory education is carried out by Svazarm, the rate approved by the Ministry of Finance shall apply to the amount of the remuneration.
Driver testing
(1) Organisations are required to ensure the regular checking of their drivers engaged in the mass transport of passengers or in the transport of dangerous goods at least every two years to the extent specified by the Ministry of Transport.
(2) An entry shall be made on the staff member's record of the check.
Tasks of national committees
National Committees (§ 1 (3))
(a) supervise and monitor the organisation and conduct of compulsory training and courses organised in the framework of racing schools and monitor the results thereof, eliminate the deficiencies identified directly from organisations;
(b) familiarise organisations with the compulsory training thematic plan (Section 14 (8)) for the following quarter at the latest one month before its beginning;
(c) keep a register of instructors for compulsory instruction. To ensure professional and pedagogical training of instructors, they shall organise seminars in cooperation with the District Transport Inspector of Public Security and the Motoring Department of Swaziland, once every quarter of the year, where instructors will familiarise themselves with the thematic plan of the following period and with the subject of compulsory instruction. The organisation will send instructors to these seminars on its load.
Tasks of organisations
(1) The organisation will complement the thematic plan of compulsory instruction to the full number of specified hours by problems of its own operation and will provide for the planned dates of compulsory lecturing by the lecturer and the necessary aids. Such obligations shall also apply mutatis mutandis to organisations carrying out compulsory training within the meaning of Paragraph 14 (2).
(2) At the latest at the beginning of each quarter, the organisation shall notify the relevant national committee of the dates of compulsory instruction.
Training and other professional growth of other drivers
The education and other professional growth of drivers who do not carry out this activity as a profession is provided by Svanzarm, who is also obliged to create the appropriate conditions to ensure the development of motoring in agreement with the Ministry of Transport.
