Drivers Hours,
Costings & FMT
Focus Session
A half-day live online workshop targeting the three most technically demanding topics in the Transport Manager CPC exam — the ones worth up to 20 marks.
Why These Topics Need Extra Attention
The Transport Manager CPC exam contains several topics that consistently catch students out — not because they're obscure, but because they require structured technique and careful methodology that's easy to get wrong under exam pressure.
Drivers hours scheduling, vehicle costings, and financial management techniques are not just difficult individually — errors in any one of them can cascade across an entire question. This session is designed to close that gap before exam day.
This session is specifically for Road Haulage students.
⚠ Why students lose marks
- Missing key elements in a drivers hours scenario stops marking immediately
- Costings questions are multi-layered — one wrong figure compounds into more lost marks
- FMT formulas must be applied in the correct sequence
- Poor answer structure costs marks even when knowledge is correct
- Without practice, time pressure causes avoidable errors
Drivers' Hours
& Scheduling
One of the most common failure points. This section walks you through how to read and answer scheduling scenarios correctly — including the rules students most commonly apply incorrectly.
- EU and domestic drivers hours rules
- Completing rota/scheduling questions accurately
- Identifying infringements in scenario-based questions
- How marking works — and where it stops if you go wrong
Vehicle
Costings
Widely regarded as the most challenging topic in the exam. Costings questions involve multiple calculation layers and a single mistake early on can affect the whole answer.
- Standing costs vs running costs — the fundamentals
- Step-by-step costing calculations
- Cost per mile / cost per hour breakdowns
- How to lay out workings clearly for maximum marks
Financial Management
Techniques (FMT)
FMT questions trip students up because the formulas must be applied in the right order, and the results interpreted correctly. We break each formula down into manageable steps.
- Break-even analysis
- Contribution, margin, and profitability calculations
- Reading and interpreting financial data
- Building confidence with step-by-step practice
