If you intend to use a goods vehicle over 3.5 tonnes MAM (Maximum Authorised Mass) for business, an Operator licence is legally required. You’ll also need to appoint a qualified Transport Manager—someone who holds a valid Certificate of Professional Competence. This requirement applies whether you’re involved in haulage and passenger services or strictly freight. To become qualified, candidates must study the full syllabus and pass two exams: a multiple-choice (R1) and a case study (R2) assessment. The content covers every aspect of managing a compliant and efficient transport operation, making quality training crucial for success. GDS Training delivers various CPC training options, including intensive classroom sessions, online courses, and home study formats to accommodate every learning style.
