It is the professional competence qualification for people managing road passenger transport operations, including bus and coach businesses. It is the relevant Transport Manager CPC for PSV operations.
A standard PSV Operator's Licence requires professional competence. This is normally satisfied by nominating an appropriately qualified Transport Manager who continuously and effectively manages the passenger transport operation.
Yes. Road passenger transport and road haulage have separate Transport Manager CPC examinations. A person wanting to manage both types of operation must pass both qualifications.
The full Kent Training programme is delivered over ten training days, normally Monday to Friday across two working weeks.
The qualification consists of a multiple-choice examination and a case-study examination. Both parts must be passed to achieve the Transport Manager CPC.

Kent Training offers live online tuition as well as classroom delivery in Kent. Examination arrangements are confirmed with the course booking.
The role involves continuous and effective management of transport activities, including driver compliance, vehicle roadworthiness, licensing, records, operational controls and passenger-service requirements.
