Arrange partnerships with companies to keep the (financial) threshold of the trainings as low as possible
Transforming the 'old school' skid course into a well balanced training by introducing both lower and higher order skills of the GDE Matrix
Integrating the training into a lifelong learning process

Marketing & Communications
Accentuate that 'road safety' isn't boring, by choosing a very recognizable campaign-image : a carousel.
On the carousel everybody is driving in the same direction, every vehicle is keeping a safe distance towards the other vehicles and accidents never happen. Riding on a carousel makes everybody happy.
Slogan: SafeDriving, Surprisingly fun (in Dutch : Veilig Rijden, Verrassend Leuk / in French : Conduite sûre, plaisir qui dûre)
The message: Driving safe isn't boring, on the contrary. When everybody drives safe, roads would be more fun for everybody.
Image and slogan are used on brochures, flyers, website, e-newsletters, social media campaigns and in every other forms of communication.
