Frequently Asked Questions About the Transport Manager CPC Course

We understand that booking a Transport Manager CPC training course is a big step. To help you feel confident, we’ve answered the most common questions we get from learners. If you don’t see your question here, simply [contact us] – we’re happy to help.

 

Q1: What is the Transport Manager CPC?

The Transport Manager Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) is a qualification required by law if you want to be named as a Transport Manager on a Standard National or International Operator Licence. It shows the Traffic Commissioner that you have the knowledge and ability to manage a transport operation in line with UK and EU regulations.

 

Q2: Who needs the CPC qualification?

You’ll need a Transport Manager CPC if:

• You want to work as a Transport Manager for a company operating HGVs under a Standard Licence.

• You’re a business owner applying for a Standard National or International Operator Licence.

• You’re advancing your career from driver or transport supervisor into management.

👉 If you’re only applying for a Restricted Operator Licence, you don’t need a CPC holder – but many operators still take the course to strengthen compliance.

 

Q3: Where is the training held?

Our courses are delivered in our dedicated training room in Droitwich, Worcestershire, just a few minutes from Junction 5 of the M5. We provide:

• Free on-site parking

• Complimentary refreshments

• Easy access from Birmingham, Worcester, Kidderminster, and the wider West Midlands

 

Q4: How long is the course?

The course runs over 10 days (two weeks) of classroom learning. During this time, we cover everything on the syllabus, plus mock exam practice to prepare you for the CILT exams.

 

Q5: What’s included in the course price?

Your fee of £1,295 (inc. VAT) includes:

• All training materials & printed workbooks

• Mock exams and feedback

• Post-course support for 30 days

• Free refreshments & parking

• A Compliance Starter Pack with templates and checklists

 

Q6: How difficult is the exam?

The TM CPC is a professional-level qualification. It requires commitment, but with our small class sizes, mock exam practice, and real-world teaching style, most of our learners are well-prepared to pass first time.

 

Q7: What if I fail the exam?

We offer a Pass With Confidence Guarantee: if you don’t pass first time, you can re-attend classroom sessions for free. We’ll also support you with extra revision until you’re exam-ready.

 

Q8: Can I spread the cost of training?

Yes – we offer flexible payment options. You can:

• Pay in full when booking

• Spread payments over instalments

• Arrange employer invoicing if your company is paying

 

Q9: Do I need experience in transport to take this course?

No. While many learners are already working in transport, we also welcome complete beginners. We teach everything from the ground up, so you’ll gain the knowledge needed to pass the exam and perform as a Transport Manager.

 

Q10: What qualification do I receive?

You’ll receive the Level 3 Certificate of Professional Competence in Road Haulage (CPC), awarded by the Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport (CILT). This is the recognised qualification across the UK and EU.
