Transport Manager CPC Training
Transport Manager CPC
The Certificate of Professional Competence for Transport Managers (Transport Manager CPC) is the minimum qualification required for those seeking a career in transport management. Transport Manager CPC is a level 3 qualification and covers both National and International operations.
Your course will be tailored to either the Passenger Transport or the Road Haulage sector. Qualifications are not transferable, so if you already hold a Transport Manager CPC qualification in Passenger Transport and wish to change career to manage a Road Haulage fleet (or vice versa), you will need to study and pass exams in your new chosen industry discipline and gain a further relevant qualification. Our training centre in Braintree, Essex, is accredited by SEGA(Skills and Education Group Awards) as both a training and examination centre for the Transport Manager CPC qualification.
Examinations
Gaining a Transport Manager CPC certification requires you to pass two examinations: the case study module and the multiple-choice module. You must pass both these modules in order to gain your qualification. If you do not pass at your first attempt, you are permitted to resit exams until you do pass them.
Examinations may be taken either in a paper-based format at our SEGA accredited examination centre in Braintree, Essex, or remotely, using an online proctored examination system. If you choose to take exams remotely, you will need to have the requisite equipment, plus a location free from distractions. If you choose to study on your own, you can still take your exams with us.
Approaches to study
There are three approaches to study for the Transport Manager CPC certification, which are outlined below. Please click on each option to read more.
In-person classroom based course
A classroom-based course takes place at our own premises in Braintree, Essex, and is delivered by a trainer who is a transport industry expert. Most of our candidates choose this option as it has a lot of advantages. The entire course is eight days long, and includes a revision day to help you to prepare for your exams. You will also need to set aside an additional day for the actual examination day, which is usually a few days after you complete your course. Nine days in all.
Your course will cover either the Road Haulage or the Passenger Transport qualification syllabus.
This classroom-based approach means that you can study and take your Transport Manager CPC exams in a finite amount of time. Many candidates find this more structured and concentrated method of study helps them to focus and absorb knowledge, which is then fresh in their minds when they sit their exams. Being based in the classroom for training also means that you are always able to ask your expert trainer questions, and can even do so during a break over a cuppa. Candidates tells us they find it reassuring to know that they have covered every part of the syllabus with detailed expert guidance, and feel thoroughly prepared for the exams.

Online courses - Road Haulage
If you can’t take a block of eight days to complete a classroom-based course, a home study course with a smaller number of online transport courses may suit you. This approach, available as a Transport Manager CPC Road Haulage course only, allows you to study largely from home at your own pace, but also provides a series of three online courses covering key topics on the syllabus. Occasional online sessions allow you to have some expert guidance along your study journey, and help you to gain a fuller understanding of some of the key areas that you will need to know for your exams. These online courses are also an invaluable aid to revision for any candidate needing to resit the Road Haulage Transport Manager CPC exams.
The three online modules cover eight topics from the syllabus of the multiple-choice examination and two from the case study exam. Attending these online courses greatly enhances your chances of success in the examinations.
We will provide your Road Haulage study pack as part of your course fee; and you will be able to choose whether to sit your exams in person, at our SEGA accredited exam centre in Braintree, Essex, or online, via the proctored system. Please ask our team about this option, which will be available shortly.
Home study only
We understand that some candidates simply cannot allocate any days to attend a training course, either in person in the classroom, or online. Perhaps you already work full time in another industry, or you have a heavy schedule which prevents you from signing up to a structured training course. If this is your situation, you may wish to go it alone and adopt the home study approach, progressing at your own pace and setting your own timetable, taking the transport manager online exams on the available dates of your choice.
You may find this route more difficult, as you won’t have the benefit of any expert training, but we can still help you to some extent. You can purchase all the necessary study materials from us. You will need either the Road Haulage Study Pack, or the Passenger Transport study pack. And you can take your exams with us, either in a paper-based format at our own premises in Braintree, Essex, or online via the proctored system.
Driver CPC hours
If, as a manager, you also occasionally drive either an HGV/LGV or a PCV, our Transport Manager CPC courses can count as all 35 hours of Driver CPC training required to renew a DQC (Driver Qualification Card). Please let us know when booking if you would like to include Driver CPC training hours.
