Transport Manager CPC HGV: Course Options and Study Formats

You have chosen the Transport Manager CPC HGV route. Now it is a question of how you want to study.

Whether you learn best in a classroom, prefer the flexibility of online modules, or want a structured home study pack, every format covers the same syllabus and leads to the same recognised qualification. Compare your options below and choose the one that fits your working week.

CILT accredited

Who this course is for?

This course is built for people working in road haulage, not transport management in general:
  • Haulage operators running their own HGV fleet
  • Fleet supervisors responsible for day-to-day compliance
  • Owner-drivers moving from a Restricted Licence to a Standard Licence and needing a named Transport Manager
  • Anyone stepping into an HGV transport manager role for the first time

What the HGV syllabus covers

The course is built around the day-to-day realities of running goods vehicles, not generic transport theory. You will work through:
  • Vehicle weights, dimensions and axle limits, and what they mean for legal loading
  • Safe loading and securing of goods, including the rules around load distribution and restraint
  • HGV maintenance standards and the inspection records a Traffic Commissioner expects to see
  • Driver hours, working time and tachograph rules specific to goods vehicle operations
  • Operator Licence conditions for Standard Licence holders running HGV fleets
  • Financial standing requirements and the business management knowledge the case study paper tests

Every topic is examined through an HGV lens, preparing you directly for the Paper 1 knowledge test and the road haulage case study scenario.

How the HGV exams work

Paper 1 tests your knowledge across the syllabus areas above, with particular weight given to vehicle standards, driver hours, and Operator Licence conditions as they apply to goods vehicles.

The case study paper places you in a realistic road haulage scenario, often involving a fleet compliance issue, a driver hours breach, or an Operator Licence condition that has been put at risk. You are assessed on the decision you would make as the named Transport Manager, not on how much you can recall.

Successful candidates receive the Level 3 Certificate of Professional Competence in Road Haulage, awarded by CILT. The qualification does not expire, though staying current with road haulage legislation is part of the role.

Running passenger vehicles as well as HGV?

If your operation also includes buses, coaches or minibuses with nine or more seats, you will need the Transport Manager CPC PSV as a separate qualification.

FAQs

Yes. The online course covers the same syllabus as the classroom course and leads to the same Level 3 Certificate of Professional Competence in Road Haulage. You will work through structured modules and tutor-led virtual sessions rather than attending in person.

You only need to resit the paper you did not pass. If you pass Paper 1 but not the case study, you can retake the case study alone without sitting the multiple-choice exam again, and vice versa.

Yes. The certificate awarded on passing is identical regardless of which format you studied through. CILT does not distinguish between routes on the certificate itself.

Both qualifications follow the same exam structure and core subject areas, but HGV applies them to goods vehicle operations, covering vehicle weights, load security and goods-specific compliance, while PSV applies the same principles to passenger transport, covering accessibility, passenger safety and PSV licensing categories.

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.
