The Ministry of Transport is advancing in the regulation of training options aimed at people sanctioned for violations of the National Traffic Code.
To this end, the entity made public a draft resolution that sets the administrative, technical, operational, and technological criteria that will govern the Comprehensive Care Centers (CIA) and the transit agencies that decide to offer road education and pedagogy training in virtual mode.
This proposal seeks to transform the registration, monitoring, teaching, and certification scheme of these classes, adjusting the mechanism by which drivers complete the legal requirement that allows them to obtain discounts on the payment of fines.
Transmission from physical classroom and real-time verification
Within the parameters established in the regulatory proposal, virtual training will not eliminate the existing face-to-face infrastructure. The document indicates that pedagogical sessions under this format must be delivered synchronously, live, and in real time, connecting the session from the same physical space where the face-to-face class is taught.
In order to support the transmission and validation of the process, service providers must have the technological infrastructure that ensures the sending of data and information to the National Unified Traffic Registry (RUNT) and the Control and Surveillance System (Sicov) of the Superintendency of Transport.
Registration process and authorized capacity
The Comprehensive Care Centers and transit departments interested in adding the digital option must follow a series of formal steps provided in the regulatory project:
- Formally notify the Ministry of Transport of the decision to offer courses through the virtual mode.
- Complete the technical integration and interconnection with the platform of the Control and Surveillance System (Sicov).
- Adjust the academic offer to the installed physical capacity that has been validated by a Conformity Assessment Body (OEC), duly accredited by the National Accreditation Body of Colombia (Onac).
- Send the corresponding information to the Runt, the entity responsible for notifying the Integrated Information System on Traffic Fines and Sanctions (Simit) of the completion of the course to make the fine discount effective.
The Ministry of Transport has made the full text of the draft resolution available on its website in order to receive observations, comments, and contributions from the public and the sector until August 25, 2026.
