What it is
The Transport Manager Certificate of Professional Competence shows that someone has the knowledge to manage a road transport operation. There are different versions for national and international goods transport.
How people qualify
Candidates usually study through a recognised awarding body, sit exams on topics such as business management, access to the market and technical standards, and then receive a certificate. Study can be through a classroom course or by distance learning.
Why it matters to operators
If your Transport Manager's certificate is not valid for your type of operation, your licence has a problem. Always check that the qualification matches what you do.
General information only. Operator licensing rules are set by the Office of the Traffic Commissioner and DVSA and can change. Always check the current guidance on GOV.UK. Nothing here is legal advice.
