The role of Transport Manager is vital within the road haulage and logistics industry. Whether you’re managing a HGV fleet or overseeing transport operations, having a qualified Transport Manager ensures compliance, safety, and efficiency.
Here at 2 Start, we recognise, every learner is different, and as a result, we have introduced an Online Transport Manager CPC – the same recognised qualification you’d get in the classroom, but with the convenience of learning from home or work.
In this article, we break down exactly what the Online Transport Manager CPC involves, who it’s for, how the assessments work and why it might be the right choice for you.
What is the Transport Manager CPC?
The Transport Manager CPC (Certificate of Professional Competence) is a legal requirement for anyone who wants to become the named Transport Manager on an Operator Licence.
It demonstrated that you have the knowledge and skills to:
- Run compliant transport operations
- Keep vehicles roadworthy and safe
- Manage drivers and tachograph rules
- Understand key regulations, including drivers’ hours and working time.
- Maintain accurate operational records
- Ensure legal and financial responsibilities are met.
Both road haulage and passenger transport sectors require a CPC-qualified Transport Manager to be in place.
What is the course?
The online version delivers the same recognised qualification, but through a virtual learning environment rather than a physical classroom. Learners attend real-time lessons with experienced instructors, complete practice questions, take part in discussions, and prepare for exams, all using an online platform.
The online course includes live instructor-led sessions, digital learning materials, mock exams, guidance on exam preparation and tutor support throughout. You still receive all the same support as you would in person, just virtually instead!
Who is the online course suitable for?
The Transport Manager CPC qualification is ideal for anyone aspiring to be a transport manager, any existing managers looking to gain more insight into the operations.



How do the exams work?
The goal of the complete course is to give the learner the knowledge and understanding they need to complete their road haulage paper 1 and 2 exams. For the online Transport Manager CPC exams, you will complete your exams at home; however, there are certain conditions you must follow. You must complete your exam in a room, by yourself, keep your camera and microphone on, and minimise time away from your screen.
Case Study Exam
For the case study exam, there are three case study questions which each focus on a specific module from the course. This exam lasts 2 hours 15 minutes, and you will need to answer 50% correctly to pass (30 out of 60 marks).
Multiple Choice Exam
The multiple-choice exam is a closed-book exam, so you won’t be able to have any supporting resources during your examination. The goal of this assessment is to assess your understanding of the core knowledge needed to be a transport manager. This paper will last 2 hours, and you will need 28 marks out of 40 to pass.
To achieve the CILT(UK) Level 3 Certificate of Professional Competence for Transport Managers, learners will need to pass both Paper 1 and Paper 2.
