The Spanish Road Association (7431 AEC) has just launched its own online training platform for the road sector for Spain and the Latin American region, supported by Vial Ibero-American Institute (IVIA), which contributes to the distribution of the courses.

Although fully developed in other professional fields, there was a clear demand for online training in road infrastructure.  The AEC training platform provides an international focus, and aims to become a benchmark for all technicians and managers working on either side of the Atlantic.

Training programs are currently dedicated to road safety, but the AEC aims to go beyond this and include subjects such as the environment, finance, road transport or storage.  It also plans to develop the initiative by establishing cooperation agreements with Spanish and Latin American universities, as well as bilateral and other international road infrastructure organisations.
