Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Transport Managers CPC?
The Transport Manager Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) is the legally required qualification for anyone wishing to act as a Transport Manager on an Operator's Licence. It demonstrates professional competence to the Traffic Commissioner and is required under the Goods Vehicles (Licensing of Operators) Act 1995. The qualification is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT).
How long does the Transport Managers CPC course take?
The full Transport Managers CPC course is a 5-day intensive programme, delivered live online via Zoom. This includes all course material and preparation for the CILT examination. The Refresher course for existing Transport Managers is 2 days, and the OLAT course for directors and senior managers is 1 day.
What is the difference between the HGV and PCV courses?
The HGV (Road Haulage) course qualifies you to manage goods vehicle operations, while the PCV (Passenger Transport) course qualifies you to manage passenger carrying vehicle operations such as buses and coaches. The course structure is similar, but the content is tailored to the specific regulations and operational requirements of each sector. If you need to manage both types of operations, you would need both qualifications.
Is the OLAT course the same as the Transport Managers CPC?
No, OLAT (Operator Licence Awareness Training) is different from the Transport Managers CPC qualification. OLAT is an awareness course designed for directors and senior managers who have responsibility for the operator licence but may not be the nominated Transport Manager. It provides a comprehensive understanding of compliance responsibilities and OCRS scoring. If you need to become a professionally competent Transport Manager, you should take the full Transport Managers CPC course.
How often do I need to do refresher training?
It is recommended that Transport Managers undertake refresher training at least every 5 years to stay current with legislation changes and demonstrate ongoing professional development. While not legally mandatory, refresher training shows the Traffic Commissioner that you maintain your competence and can be beneficial if your licence is ever called to a Public Inquiry.
Are the courses delivered online or face-to-face?
Our scheduled courses are delivered live online via Zoom or MS Teams, depending on the course. This allows you to participate in fully interactive, trainer-led sessions from anywhere without travel. The online format includes all the benefits of classroom training — you can ask questions, participate in discussions, and engage with your trainer and fellow delegates. We can also arrange face-to-face training at your premises for groups. Contact us to discuss your requirements.
What examination do I need to pass?
The Transport Managers CPC requires passing the CILT examination, which consists of two papers: a multiple-choice paper and a case study paper. Both papers are taken on the same day. Our course fee includes the examination, and we provide thorough preparation including an exam preparation day to maximise your chances of success. We achieve consistently high pass rates.

CPC Courses are, at best boring and at worse not worth the money. Now that I have completed my 5 modules, 4 of which were with Andrew, who has a special way of getting the point of some things into my head, believe me that is no small feat. I have thoroughly enjoyed all modules that NCT arranged for me, plus the fact it is now done via Zoom just helped me to remember it. The whole experience was so simple, right from booking a full 5 day course, to today, where I can say 'no more til next year' same place, different dates.
I wouldn't hesitate to book again with NCT. 10/10 for the guys and girls in the office, the ones we don't get to see. The price as well, considering there I'd so many Lorry and Coach Drivers that, like me have left it to the last minute before renewing their CPC Cards. My advice on that one would be to shop around, I did and NCP were by far alot cheaper than most of the others I contacted.
Thankyou to Andrew, who was my Trainer for 4/5 modules and he is an absolute excellent teacher
Thankyou Guys
