As part of its objective of ‘preserving our heritage with steam on the road’ the NTET operates a Voluntary ‘Traction Engine Driver Competency Scheme’.
This entirely voluntary scheme requires its particpants to demonstrate, either by examination or by qualifying experience, their ability to safely manage and control an engine, on the road and on the rally field, in a safe and considerate manner. Successful participants are awarded a ‘Certificate of Competency’.
Participants may choose either of two principal options to gain a ‘Certificate of Competency’.
