Certificate of Professional Competence
Transport Manager CPC 
It is a legal requirement that all Goods / Passenger Vehicle Operators, or a member of their staff, must prove that they are ‘of good repute’ and professionally competent before an Operators Licence can be applied for.
To achieve this recognition, the operator, or a member of their staff, must successfully undertake the CPC Examinations and gain the Certificate of Professional Competence in Transport Management.
Please note we do not run courses in Passenger CPC, although we can arrange exams. We do run highly successful Freight CPC Courses
Examination:
The Oxford, Cambridge and RSA (OCR) Examination Board set and administer the examinations to assess the professional competence of those wishing to enter the Transport or Passenger Industry. These examinations are conducted four times a year, normally in the months of March, June, September and December.
The CPC Certificate assesses skills at Level 3 of the National Framework of Qualifications. The examinations are designed to be comparable in demand to other qualifications at Level 3, eg NVQ Level 3, Advanced GNVQ or A Level equivalent.
From 4 December 2011 new examination arrangements will apply. The principal change is that the National and International syllabuses will be merged and new examinations created to cover both areas.
The new structure as from 2012 comprises of 2 x 2 hour examinations.
