Minister of State at the Department of Transport

The validity period of Initial Basic Training (IBT) certificates is set out in legislation. Making a change to the validity of an existing certificate requires a change in law.

Regulations are currently being prepared for a further extension to IBT certificates and an update is expected shortly.
