The legal requirement

Under current UK and EU transport law, bus, coach, and large goods vehicle operators must hold a valid Operator’s Licence (“O Licence”).
To obtain or maintain that licence, they must show that they are professionally competent , either personally or through employing a qualified Transport Manager.

An individual can only be deemed professionally competent once they have passed the Road Haulage Transport Manager CPC examination, which is set and approved by the Education & Skills Group on behalf of the Department for Transport.

Our LGS Transport Manager CPC course is fully approved by the Education & Skills Group and delivers the knowledge, practical understanding, and confidence needed to meet the Operator Licence professional competence standards.
