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.

Statutory Document 3 (Transport Managers) – CPD expectations

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.
