Is this the same qualification as the classroom course?
Yes — all routes lead to the same CILT-awarded Transport Manager Certificate of Professional Competence. The qualification is identical regardless of how you study.
How long will it take to be exam-ready?
It varies by individual. We recommend around 3 months of part-time study. You have 6 months of portal access, so there's plenty of flexibility to work at your own pace.
What if I realise I need more support?
You can upgrade to our distance learning or online course. We'll credit what you've already paid towards the new course. Call us to arrange.
Can I book the exam later?
Yes. You can add it to your order now (£307) or book separately when you feel ready via our exam bookings page.
What's the pass rate for home study?
Home study pass rates are around 25%. Without tutor feedback, it's harder to identify gaps in your understanding before the exam. Our tutor-supported courses achieve 60–86%.
What if I fail the exam?
You can rebook — £236 for both exams or £151 for an individual resit. Your portal access continues until the 6 months are up. If you'd like tutor support for your next attempt, we can discuss upgrading.
Do you deliver outside the UK?
Yes, but additional postage fees apply. Contact us before ordering and we'll quote for your location.
Can I use this qualification for an O-Licence?
Yes, the CPC qualification is mandatory for anyone applying to become a nominated Transport Manager on an Operator Licence in the UK.
Choose Road Haulage or Passenger Transport. Add digital notes and exam booking if you'd like, or keep it simple with just the materials.
