Important: This is an advanced Transport Manager CPC / CPD refresher. We do not mix Transport Managers with Driver CPC delegates, as the depth and focus goes well beyond Level 2 requirements.

Why Transport Manager refresher training matters

Transport Managers are expected to maintain up-to-date professional knowledge and apply it day-to-day. Many operators adopt a refresh cycle (often around 5 years) as good governance, and CPD evidence is frequently requested by Traffic Commissioners where compliance concerns arise.

⚠️ Traffic Commissioner case studies (GOV.UK)

These published regulatory decisions highlight the consequences of “passive” management and oversight gaps:

Joseph & Peter Singleton (Jan 2026): Indefinite disqualification for failures around roadworthiness and effective management.
Louise Froggatt case: Loss of good repute and disqualification linked to failures in continuous and effective management.

Statutory Document 3 — CPD and competence

The Senior Traffic Commissioner’s Statutory Document No. 3 sets expectations for professional competence and circumstances where a Transport Manager may need to evidence CPD to support repute.

For a detailed, plain-English explanation of what Traffic Commissioners expect in practice — including how refresher training, CPD evidence, and compliance records are viewed at Public Inquiry — see our Transport Manager CPC Refresher (2026) compliance guide .

Who this refresher is for

Built for qualified people with real compliance responsibility — not “tick-box training”.

Named Transport Managers (HGV or PCV — Road Haulage or Passenger)
TMs on new licence applications whose original CPC qualification was achieved several years ago
External / contracted Transport Managers needing current CPD evidence
Operators / directors / compliance leads who oversee maintenance, systems and undertakings
Newly appointed TMs wanting practical systems, evidence trails, and “what good looks like”

Not the right fit?

If you don’t already hold the Transport Manager CPC qualification, you’ll need the initial CPC course instead of a refresher.

Course syllabus & compliance focus

Operator licence system: undertakings, responsibilities, and what the Traffic Commissioner expects.
Maintenance controls: roadworthiness, PMI planning, defect reporting, rectification, and records.
Brake testing focus: frequency, evidence trails, and common audit failure points.
Drivers’ hours & tachographs: current requirements and practical management controls.
OCRS & enforcement risk: steps to reduce exposure and improve compliance signals.
Audit-ready systems: what “good looks like” for DVSA assessments and investigations.

Certificate of completion

Delegates receive a certificate confirming attendance and completion — suitable for CPD records and audit / compliance files.

Compliance

Is refresher training a legal requirement?

There isn’t a single 5 year renewal period like Driver CPC, but Transport Managers are expected to maintain continuing professional knowledge. Refresher training is a straightforward way to evidence competence.

How often should I refresh?

Many operators adopt a 5-year cycle. Some refresh sooner after operational changes or enforcement activity.

Do you cover brake testing?

Yes. We cover how brake testing fits into your PMI/PPM system, evidence trails, and how to avoid documentation gaps.

Does it cover maintenance records?

Yes. We cover inspection frequency, defect reporting, rectification, and what good looks like for audit readiness.

Does it include drivers’ hours and tachographs?

Yes. We focus on management controls that reduce infringement risk and enforcement exposure.

Suitability

Who is this for?

Qualified HGV/PCV Transport Managers and anyone with compliance responsibility needing a structured CPD update.

Do I need to already hold a CPC?

Yes. This is refresher training. It does not replace the initial Transport Manager CPC qualification.

Is it for Road Haulage and PCV?

Yes — the course is built around operator-licensing compliance principles that apply across both sectors.

What certificate do I get?

A certificate of completion confirming refresher / CPD training for your audit records.

I’m new — should I do this or the full CPC?

If you don’t hold the qualification, you need the initial CPC. If you do hold it, this refresher is the right fit.
