Courses start at 07:00 AM and reporting after 07:15 AM will be considered a ‘no show’ and the full training fee will be forfeited.

You MUST bring the following documents with you to the course (NOT PHOTOCOPIES):
-ROP Driving License

-HSE Passport showing a valid HSE Induction Course has been completed
-PDO Driving Permit
-One passport-size photograph (in case of HSE Induction).

The Nominee SHOULD fluently speak and write in the language of the course taken. If it is found that proper training cannot be delivered due to the language barrier, nominee will be removed from the course and the full course fee will be forfeited.

All training courses (with the SOLE EXCEPTION of DD07) are conducted in MANUAL TRANSMISSION vehicles. It is therefore your responsibility to ensure you are licensed to drive such vehicles (i.e. your license is not for automatics only).

All Nominees on Heavy vehicle courses (7 tons and above), bus and tanker courses MUST BRING THEIR OWN VEHICLE OF THIS TYPE.

In case of Heavy vehicles, the Nominator must indicate if they require TATI to provide a 3.5 tons vehicle. This facility is only available for Omanis, not expatriates.

Anyone bringing a tanker for a DD04 course MUST ENSURE IT HAS CONTENT (AS A GUIDE, PARTIALLY LOADED).

If the vehicle is found to be empty, or containing so little material as to detract from the purpose of ensuring the driver can safely manage such a vehicle in a semi-loaded state, the driver will be declared a ‘no show’, the training cancelled and all course fees forfeited.

Overalls and Safety shoes MUST be worn.

The eye test is an important pre-requisite for attending defensive driving training. If you fail the eye test on the day of the course you will be charged for the full course but can not continue. You are therefore encouraged to have an eye test at least 72 hours before your course either at TATI or Sheida-SDI as the results remain valid for three weeks. The cost of an eye-sight test is RO2, and can be taken between the hours of 9am and 4pm with no appointment, just call the training premises.

You MUST be able to pass the eye test given at the start of the course (with the aid of spectacles or contact lenses, if required).

Please see detailed information on eye test
