What price do you put on your operator licence?
Business owners often don't realise the legal obligations they undertake with O-Licensing and many people who attend our Operator’s Licence Undertaking course are completely new to operating LGV & PSV vehicles. They find that our training provides an better understanding of what is required from a business to protect their operator licence and maintain a strong Operator Licence Risk Score (OCRS).
This one day course is aimed at business owners and Transport Managers that are unfamiliar with their legal responsibilities and the latest legislation regarding their operators' licence undertakings.
"A large number of operators appearing at public inquiry are still ignorant of exactly what is required of a Transport Manager”
(Richard Turfitt - Traffic Commissioner, Eastern Traffic Area Jan 2011)
The course also provides a ‘hands-on’ practical understanding of the necessary processes and checks required to ensure compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the Operator Licence System.

"I am disappointed that many operators have not even provided drivers with the first seven hours of training in the first year. I urge them not to leave it too long and to set up a driver training plan to avoid being caught out at the last minute.”
(Beverley Bell - Traffic Commissioner, North Western Area)
