This course has been designed for new operators and existing operators who need to update their knowledge of how to manage transport operations within the haulage industry.
The course takes the elements of the operator licence undertakings and applies them in a practical training session, giving operators and staff involved in the transport operation the key skills needed to audit, monitor, and review an operator’s compliance.
Traffic Commissioners accept this course in line with their recommendations.

The main objective of this course would be for all students to leave with the knowledge on what to check, when to check and how to monitor and deal with transport compliance in a real and practical way.
No experience or qualifications necessary but a general understanding of the transport operators responsibilities would be an advantage (please see our Transport Manager Refresher course for more detailed transport undertakings training).
Traffic Commissioners regularly require operators to update their knowledge. The following course will assist in satisfying that requirement.
Business owners often don’t realise the legal obligations they undertake with O-Licensing and many people who attend our Operators Licence Undertaking course are completely new to operating LGV vehicles. They find that our training provides an better understanding of what is required from a business to protect their operator licence and maintain a strong Operator Licence Risk Score (OCRS).
The course will also benefit all who are involved in the administration of transport-related issues.
