Course Requirements
Anyone who is planning to become a nominated Transport Manager in their business can complete this full course. Also, anyone who cannot complete their training in-house, or prefer to work on their own and train at their own pace would be best suited to complete this style of learning.
Ongoing Requirements
You can complete Road Haulage Operator Licence Awareness Training (OLAT) as and when you need to refresh your understanding on the “O” licence. Also, the Traffic Commissioner can order you to complete the OLAT course if they feel you need additional, sufficient training.
Test Requirements
There are two exams which must be completed: multiple-choice and case study
Case Study Exam
There are three case study questions each primarily focusing on specific modules and relating to the featured case study and additional scenario content.
All information to assist in answering the question will be detailed in the case study and scenarios within the question.
The assessment will last for 2 hours and 15 minutes.
The pass mark is 50% (30 out of 60) with a total of 20 marks are available for each question in the exam.
Multiple choice Exam
A closed book assessment, meaning no supporting resource is admissible during the assessment. The objective is to test basic recall, analysis, and evaluation of core knowledge across the specification.
This multiple-choice question format of assessment can be used to assess both the lower and upper cognitive ability of a Learner against the learning outcomes.
CILT(UK) qualification specifications and associated materials are offered in English only. All assessment responses must be in English only.
The paper will last for 2 hours.
The pass mark for this multiple-choice exam is of 28 marks out of 40.
To achieve the CILT(UK) Level 3 Certificate of Professional Competence for Transport Managers (Road Haulage) Learners will need to pass both Paper 1 and Paper 2.
If either Paper 1 or Paper 2 is not achieved in one sitting, a resit for that Paper will be required.
Further Training
Further training required, once passed, will include completing refresher training (also known as Operator Licence Awareness Training) to keep updated with the rules, regulations and legislations. Rule of thumb is completing this every five years. However, the Traffic Commissioner can instruct you to complete refresher training when they believe you need to complete this.
Earning Potential
Transport managers are a highly sought after commodity, so the salary matches the demand. The salary of a Transport Manager can reach as high as £47,000 annually.
Who is this course for?
Anyone who is planning to become a nominated Transport Manager, but is looking to complete their training in their own pace should look at completing this type of training. The course contents is sent to you, and you wil; have everything you need to complete sufficient training.
