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 at the appropriate level (National/International)
Please note we do not run courses in Passenger CPC, although we can arrange exams. We do run highly successful Freight CPC Courses
