Transport compliance has never been more scrutinised. In 2025, Traffic Commissioners made clear that professional competence is not optional — it’s a legal expectation. That’s why completing a 2-day Transport Manager CPC Refresher course is essential for safeguarding your repute, your operator licence, and your career.
Statutory Document No. 3 (March 2025) introduced firmer expectations around CPD.
Traffic Commissioners may now request refresher evidence at Public Inquiries, licence renewals, or variations.
The benchmark is a 2-day refresher course delivered by a recognised training provider.
Failure to stay current risks regulatory action and damage to professional standing.
Assimilated Drivers’ Hours Rules – clear, practical updates replacing EU terminology.
Working Time Regulations – record keeping and enforcement focus.
Brake Test Report Interpretation – how to spot when a “Pass” may still mean a failure, ensuring roadworthiness decisions are evidence-based.
Digital Record Keeping – DVSA now expects quick retrieval of tachograph, WTR, and maintenance data.
Statutory Retention Periods – drivers’ hours (12 months), working time (24 months), maintenance records (15 months).
We’ve embedded these changes directly into our syllabus — so delegates leave fully aligned with the latest rules.
Across two interactive days, delegates refresh knowledge in:
Operator licence undertakings and undertaker duties,
Assimilated drivers’ hours, GB domestic rules, and AETR,
Road Transport (Working Time) Regulations 2005,
Tachograph download intervals (28 days/90 days),
OCRS, prohibitions, and enforcement powers,
Preventive maintenance inspection scheduling,
Professional conduct and CPD evidence requirements.
This ensures you can demonstrate professional competence proactively, not defensively.
Public Inquiry risk – poor knowledge can lead to curtailed or revoked licences.
Loss of repute – both operator and TM can be disqualified.
Increased OCRS score – more roadside stops, more prohibitions.
Missed changes – misinterpreting a brake test or tachograph download could put vehicles out of service.
Completing a 2-day Transport Manager CPC refresher is a small investment compared to the cost of regulatory action.
Syllabus mapped directly to DVSA and Traffic Commissioner guidance.
Fully updated for 2025 changes (assimilated hours, brake testing, CPD expectations).
Delivered online nationwide via Zoom, no travel required.
Led by experienced compliance professionals with decades in the industry.
