The Certificate of Professional Competence for Transport Managers course is essential for those seeking a career in transport management. The Transport Manager CPC is a level 3 qualification and is the minimum qualification required for holding an Operator’s Licence.
This qualification requires you to pass two examinations: a multiple choice paper and a case study-based written paper and covers both National and International operations.
Wayside Transport is a recognised centre for Transport Manager CPC training and a registered examination centre and is accredited by the Skills and Education Group Awards (SEG Awards).
