Operator Licence Awareness Training - OLAT Course

What is an OLAT?

The Operator Licence Awareness Training Course or OLAT is a one-day course aimed at company directors, restricted licence holders and staff directly associated with the transport operation.

“The course covers the areas of compliance you need to understand to keep your operator licence”.

The Traffic Commissioner often stipulates you must attend an approved OLAT course, ours is exactly that. You will get an official certificate of attendance which can be used as proof that you attended a suitable course. You will also receive 7 hours of driver CPC credit, free of charge.

We offer OLAT courses for both haulage and passenger operators

The course covers the following subjects

• Managing your operator licence

• Managing drivers’ hours and associated records

• Managing the vehicle, maintenance and associated records

• Driver licencing

• Operator Compliance Risk Score

• Bridge strikes.

“Delegates will receive a certificate, accepted by the Traffic Commissioner as proof of suitable training”.

Are you a Restricted Operator?

The OLAT is an essential course to help you understand the key compliance areas you must satisfy to maintain your operator licence. It isn’t a step-by-step guide on managing and protecting your operator licence. Our TM-Unlocked course gives you exactly that. It is aimed at newly qualified Transport Managers but will also give restricted operators a framework of systems, policies and procedures to put into place.
