ABOUT US
The North Humberside Motor Trades Group Training Association (GTA) was formed in 1972 by employers within the Retail Motor Industry with the support of the Industry Training Body, the Road Transport Industry Training Board.
​
In 2018 we were delighted to be awarded the the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) Approved Centre - Outstanding Achievers Award. To our amazement the GTA were in the final 2 of 660 National and International Centres, The Director of Learning and Training Manager were invited to the IMI Fanshaws in Hertfordshire, and accepted the award in the presence of Prince Michael of Kent.
Upon the cessation of the statutory levy in the late 1980’s, the GTA decided to become a registered charity in order to maintain its objective “To provide, further and assist in the provision of training for persons employed or intending to be employed, in road transport activities”. Charitable status was achieved in 1990.
​
The GTA is run by the industry for the benefit of the industry and on a non-profit making basis. We are committed to high quality training demonstrated by our achievement of the Investors in People.
