“Transport Managers  should possess

high-quality, professional knowledge to do their jobs effectively”

 

- Office of the Traffic Commissioner 2019

 

 

The excerpt above is from a recent press release from the office of the Traffic Commissioner.

In their view, it is imperative that Transport Manager undertake regular “continual professional development” (CPD) to enable them to carry out their role effectively.

 

Although there is no set frequency for this CPD, it is expected that some form of refresher training is taken every 5 years at a minimum. The Traffic Commissioner will request a minimum two day CPC Refresher course if:

​

  • If you have not acted as a TM for 5 years,

  • Your CPC qualification is over 10 years old

  • Or you previously lost your repute the Traffic Commissioner
