At Open Road Training, we’re proud to help people from all backgrounds achieve their goals, but few stories are as inspiring as Lesley Haston’s. With no prior experience in transport, Lesley signed up for our Transport Manager CPC course with just one week’s notice—facing one of the most challenging industry qualifications.
Despite starting with no knowledge of road haulage or passenger transport, Lesley dedicated herself fully to the training. In just two weeks, through a combination of focused classroom learning and our comprehensive e-Learning platform, she covered the entire CPC syllabus and passed both her exams on the first attempt.
