Transport Manager CPC

Transport Managers are recommended to complete a refresher course every 5 years to ensure that they keep their knowledge and skills up to date, covering the main roles and responsibilities of the Transport Manager.

The OLAT courses are often required by the Traffic Commissioner if a business has not been working to the required standards of their licence, and sometimes is recommended to ensure that knowledge of the industry is refreshed and there is an understanding of the requirements upon the business.

 

Description:
Our OLAT (Operator Licence Awareness Training) course has been designed to give operators an overview of the undertakings they give when making an O Licence application. It also provides details of the responsibilities that the transport management team of any organisation should be aware of to ensure that they comply with the licence undertakings.
