For over 40 years, EP Training has been a leading provider of Freight Transport Manager (CPC) training and consultancy, specialising in both road haulage and passenger transport sectors. We offer flexible training solutions including home study, online learning, and intensive classroom courses. Since 1981, we have delivered hundreds of Freight CPC courses, consistently achieving pass rates well above the national average.
Whether you’re looking to obtain your Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) for transport operation, take a 2-day Transport Manager Refresher course, or complete a 1-day Operator Licence Awareness Training (OLAT) course, EP Training has the expertise and options to suit your needs.
All of our courses are inclusive of tuition, VAT, test fees, and study materials—and can be conveniently booked online or over the phone.
If you intend to use a goods vehicle over 3.5 tonnes MAM (Maximum Authorised Mass) for business, an Operator licence is legally required. You’ll also need to appoint a qualified Transport Manager—someone who holds a valid Certificate of Professional Competence. This requirement applies whether you’re involved in haulage and passenger services or strictly freight.
To become qualified, candidates must study the full syllabus and pass two exams: a multiple-choice (R1) and a case study (R2) assessment. The content covers every aspect of managing a compliant and efficient transport operation, making quality training crucial for success.
EP Training delivers various CPC training options, including intensive classroom sessions, online courses, and home study formats to accommodate every learning style.
Although a CPC qualification is valid for life, Transport Managers are strongly advised to undertake refresher training at least every 12 months to stay up to date with changing laws and best practices. EP Training’s TM Refresher course is recognised by all major industry bodies and does not involve an exam. Courses can be attended online via Microsoft Teams for added convenience.
If you operate under a Restricted Operator Licence—common for owner drivers and businesses moving their own goods, like builders’ merchants and scaffolders—then it’s essential to understand your legal responsibilities. These licences are tightly regulated, and breaches can lead to serious consequences enforced by DVSA and the Traffic Commissioner.
The OLAT course is a one-day online session that provides a comprehensive overview of operator compliance. Attendance alone is sufficient to complete the course, and you’ll receive a certificate that can be shared with the relevant authorities to demonstrate compliance awareness.
