Transport Manager Refresher
A Transport Manager CPC refresher is a short course for people who already hold the Transport Manager Certificate of Professional Competence and want to update their knowledge of UK transport laws and compliance.
What the refresher course is
- 2 days training
- Covers updates in transport legislation, compliance, and operator licence rules.
- Gives you a certificate of attendance to show continuing professional development (CPD).
Why people do it
The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) and the Office of the Traffic Commissioner expect transport managers to keep their knowledge up to date. A refresher helps prove you are exercising “continuous and effective management” of the operator licence.
It is often recommended:
- Every 3–5 years after getting the CPC.
- If you’re returning to the industry.
- If the Traffic Commissioner directs you to take one after compliance issues.
Typical modules include
- Operator licence responsibilities
- Drivers’ hours & tachograph rules
- Vehicle maintenance systems
- Road safety & defect reporting
- Working Time Directive
- DVSA investigations and public inquiries
- Recent legal changes in haulage
Typical details
- Duration: 2 days
