An operator’s licence is granted on the understanding that the operator will adhere to the undertakings outlined in the application they sent to the Office of the Traffic Commissioner. It is a criminal offence for an operator to fail to comply with these undertakings, and should this occur, the operator may be called to a Public Inquiry. Here, the Traffic Commissioner has the power to curtail, suspend or revoke an operator’s licence. It is thus imperative that the rules and regulations regarding the operation of large goods vehicles are followed at all times.

Our operator’s licence awareness course is suitable for operators who have been instructed by the Traffic Commissioner to attend an operator’s awareness management or compliance course. This course is also recommended for new operators or those who needing to refresh their knowledge.

Qualified Transport Managers are required to attend refresher training every 5 years to ensure they remain up to date with their legal duties and responsibilities.

Our course:

Our 2 day course covers areas that directly relate to the day to day running of any transport operation. These areas include:

• Drivers’ hours and working time regulations.
• Tachograph regulations.
• Record keeping.
• Driver CPC.
• Driver licensing.
• Operator’s licence management.
• Vehicle maintenance.
• Operator Compliance Risk Score.
• DVSA Earned Recognition
• Public Inquiries.

To ensure that attendees get the required level of guidance from our trainer, we keep class sizes small, with a maximum of 10 delegates per course.

On the day, should anyone wish to discuss any particular matters or concerns about their own transport operation, this information would be received in complete confidence. All information shared with us would remain confidential. The openness this creates allows us to offer the most accurate advice for how to rectify any existing shortcomings.

Each delegate will receive a set of course reference materials summarising the course content.

We are happy to discuss individuals circumstances following the completion of the course to best access how we can provide on going support.
