Unprecedented Initiative in the State Aims to Train Professionals Working in Delivery and Passenger Transport Apps, with a Workload of 10 Hours/Class and Distribution of Protective Equipment at No Cost
The government of Rio Grande do Norte announced on Monday (15) the opening of registrations for the first class of the training course aimed at motorcyclists working in apps. In this initial phase, there are 120 free slots targeted at professionals who use motorcycles as their main work tool.
Classes for the first group will take place between September 22 and 25, with 60 participants per shift. The total workload will be 10 hours/class, divided between theoretical and practical content. According to the project, the goal is to qualify 600 workers throughout the next stages, reinforcing safety on the roads and work conditions for drivers.

According to information released by the RN government, motorcyclists who complete 100% of the workload will receive a free personal protective equipment (PPE) kit, consisting of helmet, reflective vest, gloves, and arm sleeves.

Activities will take place at different locations in the city of Natal. In the North Zone, the theoretical part will be taught at the University of the State of Rio Grande do Norte (UERN), while practical classes will occur at the Potiguar Honda headquarters, located on Dr. João Medeiros Filho Avenue.
In the West Zone, the theoretical meetings will be at the Mobile Emergency Care Service (SAMU), in the Dix-Sept Rosado neighborhood. The practical section will be conducted at Detran-RN, located in Cidade da Esperança.
The course is the result of a partnership between Sesap and Detran-RN, along with the Labor Prosecutor’s Office, which funds the training, in addition to the Municipal Health Department, STTU of Natal, the Conscious Traffic NGO, and Honda Potiguar.
