What should the price include?

The biggest cause of surprise costs on a Transport Manager CPC course is what sits outside the headline fee. Before you book with any provider, check the price covers:

  • The CILT examination fee – some providers charge this separately at around £199
  • VAT – business-facing providers often quote ex-VAT prices
  • Study materials and handbooks – the official texts can add over £150 if bought separately
  • Tutor support – live tuition and someone to ask questions of, not just recorded videos
  • Exam preparation – structured revision and mock papers before the CILT sitting

Our £720 course includes all of the above. There is nothing extra to pay before you sit your examination.

Why train with National Compliance Training?

  • Live online delivery by approved tutors with real transport management experience
  • Exam fees and study materials included in the £720 price
  • Structured exam preparation before the CILT sitting

Transport Manager CPC cost FAQs

How much does a Transport Manager CPC course cost in the UK?
Between £720 and just over £1,000 in 2026, once VAT and CILT exam fees are included. Headline prices can look lower because some providers add VAT and a separate exam fee of around £199 at checkout. National Compliance Training charges £720 with exam fees and study materials included.
Is a cheaper Transport Manager CPC course lower quality?
Not necessarily. Price differences mostly reflect delivery model and overheads, not the qualification itself. Every accredited provider prepares you for the same CILT examination and the certificate you receive is identical. Judge providers on tutor support, exam preparation and what the fee includes rather than price alone.
How long does the Transport Manager CPC take?
Delivery varies by provider: our course is an intensive 5 days of live online tuition, others spread 10 days over a month or offer self-paced access for up to 12 months. All routes lead to the same CILT examination, which is sat at quarterly national sittings.
Is the online Transport Manager CPC the same qualification as the classroom course?
Yes. Online and classroom courses lead to the same CILT Level 3 Certificate of Professional Competence examination and the same certificate. The online route saves travel and accommodation costs, which is one reason online courses are significantly cheaper than traditional classroom delivery.
Do I need a Transport Manager CPC?
If you are named as the transport manager on a Standard Operator’s Licence, you must hold the Certificate of Professional Competence. It is the legal qualification demonstrating professional competence under the Goods Vehicles (Licensing of Operators) Act 1995 and the equivalent PSV regulations.
What happens if I fail the CILT exam?
You can resit at the next quarterly sitting. Resit fees apply with every provider; ours is £180 including a revision session, and structured exam preparation is built into the course to give you the best chance of passing first time.
