Transcom National Training

Specialist road transport management training in the UK

Transcom National Training is a British training centre focused exclusively on transport management and regulatory compliance, rather than a general course catalogue. Its work is aimed at transport managers, operators and professional drivers, with live online training delivered by qualified tutors. The company presents itself as a JAUPT approved centre with number AC02755 and as a Skills and Education Group Awards recognised centre for delivering the Transport Manager CPC.

Training is organised into three routes according to the learner's profile: transport managers, operators and directors, and professional drivers. The company states that all its trainers have personally passed the Transport Manager CPC and are both qualified trainers and qualified transport managers. Its founder, Gareth Wildman, is a transport manager and former professional HGV driver with around twenty years of experience in road transport.

Training pathway for transport managers

The company describes a professional journey that begins with Transport Manager CPC preparation and continues through role readiness and ongoing professional development. Options include online courses, five-day classroom courses, home study, one-hour one-to-one study sessions and the option to sit the exam only.

• Training for the Transport Manager CPC qualification.
• Role readiness for newly qualified transport managers.
• Two-day refresher course for experienced transport managers.
• Five-day live course with Second Chance Guarantee.
• One-to-one study and exam support sessions.
• Transport Manager CPC exam without associated training.

The Second Chance Guarantee covers candidates on the five-day Road Haulage classroom course: those who attend the full course and do not pass both assessments on their first attempt receive a free place on the next scheduled course, paying only the resit exam fees.

Operators, licences and compliance

For operators and directors, Transcom offers Operator Licence Awareness Training (OLAT), support with restricted and standard licence applications, and compliance health checks and audits. The company links training to the real risk associated with the operator licence and to the evidence that professionals must be able to demonstrate to the regulatory authority.

Driver CPC for professional drivers

Periodic Driver CPC training is delivered live online for HGV, LGV and PCV drivers, both individuals and fleets. The company states that training includes tutor interaction and clear attendance standards, and that hours are uploaded the same day after successfully completing the course. The site shows a reference price of £45 for live online Driver CPC.

Resources and guides for the sector
