Why refresher training matters
Transport Managers are expected to maintain up-to-date professional knowledge and apply it day-to-day. Refresher training is commonly expected at least every 5 years, and may be requested sooner where compliance concerns arise (for example following an audit, intervention, or regulatory correspondence).
Areas such as drivers’ hours, maintenance controls, and brake testing are routinely examined during audits and compliance reviews, making up-to-date refresher training essential.
The Senior Traffic Commissioner’s Statutory Document No. 3 explains when a Transport Manager should expect to provide evidence of continuing professional development (CPD) to demonstrate capacity to meet the statutory duty. Read Statutory Document 3 on GOV.UK.
- On initial application where a Transport Manager has not been specified as such within the previous five years
- On initial application where the qualification is more than 10 years old
- On application where a Transport Manager proposes to be on more than one licence / proposed hours are low
- On renewal of an operator’s licence
- At Public Inquiry when considering continuous and effective management
Course materials are reviewed and updated for 2026 to reflect current legislation, guidance, and operational expectations placed on Transport Managers.
If you are named on an Operator Licence, maintaining current knowledge helps reduce risk across OCRS, maintenance controls, drivers’ hours compliance and overall governance.
