The HGV Transport Manager CPC is the recognised qualification for anyone responsible for managing heavy goods vehicle operations. It gives you the knowledge and legal understanding required to meet the standards of the Traffic Commissioners and maintain your Operator Licence.
If you’re managing or planning to manage vehicles over 3.5 tonnes, this is the course you need.
If you hold a Standard Operator Licence, you must either hold a Transport Manager CPC yourself or appoint someone who does.
If you only have a Restricted Licence, you don’t need the CPC, but you’re still legally responsible for keeping your operation compliant. Many owner-drivers still take the course to understand their obligations and avoid licence issues.
The HGV CPC covers the management of goods vehicles over 3.5 tonnes, while the PSV CPC focuses on passenger vehicles with nine or more seats.
Both qualifications follow the same structure but apply the rules to different vehicle types and operational challenges.
Yes. You can study the Transport Manager CPC entirely online or attend a classroom course. Online learning gives you the flexibility to study at your own pace, while classroom training provides direct tutor support and group discussion. Both routes prepare you for the same exams.
Once you’ve passed, the Transport Manager CPC qualification does not expire. You don’t need to renew it, but you should keep up to date with any changes in transport law or compliance requirements to stay effective in your role.
I appreciated the speed that Steve went through the course. He was always happy to answer my questions and help.
Good location and course, I think given the subject and content keeping it interesting is difficult but Paul managed to do so through general conversation would recommend to others.
Didn’t overload us and schedule the days really well, has a solid understanding of how long each segment takes and was able to manage the day perfectly.
