External Transport Manager

An external Transport Manager for your licence

Every Operator's Licence needs a named Transport Manager with the CPC qualification and real professional competence. If yours has left, is on long-term leave, or you've simply never had one in-house, we can step in.

Our instructors are all Transport Management CPC holders, and they take on operators as an External Transport Manager. They are not names on a form — they do this work every day and teach it to others.

What an external Transport Manager does for you

• Holds the professional competence your licence requires.
• Keeps the systems honest — drivers' hours, tachograph analysis, defect reporting and maintenance planning.
• Watches the compliance calendar so inspections, licences and renewals don't slip past you.
• Speaks the regulator's language if the Traffic Commissioner comes calling.
• Trains your people as they go, so the knowledge builds up inside your business.

When operators call us

• The named Transport Manager has resigned and the clock is ticking
• The licence is up for renewal or variation
• A Public Inquiry or an audit is looming
• The business has grown past what one person can keep on top of
• Nobody in the company holds a CPC yet — and someone needs to

How we work

1. A conversation. Tell us about your operation, your fleet and where you are with the licence.
2. An honest assessment. We'll tell you what's needed — including if what you need is training rather than an external manager.
3. Arrangements agreed in writing, so everyone knows what's covered.
4. Ongoing support, with the option of an audit to establish a baseline.

Would you rather qualify someone in-house?

Often the better long-term answer. Our Transport Manager CPC takes ten days in the classroom or six months by home study, and then the competence lives inside your business. We're happy to tell you when that's the smarter route.
