Passenger transport carries responsibilities that goods vehicle operators never have to think about, from wheelchair access under the Equality Act to emergency procedures for a coach full of passengers. The Transport Manager CPC PSV covers exactly that ground, giving bus, coach and minibus operators the licensing knowledge and case study preparation to manage a compliant passenger fleet.

Yes. The certificate awarded on passing is identical regardless of which format you studied through, CILT does not distinguish between routes.
No. The PSV CPC requirement applies to vehicles adapted to carry nine or more passengers. If your minibuses carry fewer than nine passengers, they fall outside PSV operator licensing, though other passenger transport regulations may still apply depending on how the vehicles are used.
No. HGV and PSV are separate qualifications examined separately. If your operation runs both goods vehicles and passenger vehicles under separate operator licences, you need a named Transport Manager holding the relevant qualification for each licence, or one person who holds both.
The PSV case study is built around passenger transport scenarios rather than goods transport ones. You might be asked to respond to an accessibility complaint, resolve a scheduling conflict across a mixed contract and scheduled service operation, or address a licensing condition specific to passenger vehicles. The skills tested are the same; the context is entirely PSV.
Passenger transport operators work within rules that do not apply to goods vehicles, including accessible transport requirements under the Equality Act, PSV operator licensing categories, and passenger safety obligations specific to fare-paying or contracted passenger services.
I did the PSV inspection technician course, i found the course very interesting and helpful and I learnt a lot from doing it. The staff who taught us was very good and helpful. Made a big difference in the learning of the course.
Highly recommend.
Looking forward to doing more courses in the future.
I took the CPC PSV course at the end of November with Paul. He was really good informative and made the course which is very information heavy, easy to understand and kept us engaged. The books which came with the course really helped and helped me alot in revising and also helped me in the exam. Which I am pleased to say I passed at the first attempt. Thank you.
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.
