Operator Licence Awareness Training
Operator Licence Awareness Training (OLAT) is designed to help transport professionals understand their legal responsibilities and ensure compliance with operator licensing regulations.
​
Purpose of OLAT
Operator Licence Awareness Training aims to provide attendees with a comprehensive understanding of the responsibilities associated with managing an operator licence. This training is crucial for anyone involved in the operation of commercial vehicles, including transport managers, fleet managers, and operations managers. It covers essential topics such as maintaining records, managing drivers' hours, and ensuring vehicle compliance with legal standards.
Course Content
The OLAT course typically includes the following key areas:
-
Overview of the operator licensing system and legal obligations.
-
Responsibilities related to maintaining online records and compliance.
-
Guidance on managing drivers' hours and vehicle maintenance.
-
Updates on transport legislation and best practices for compliance.
Transport Managers CPC Refresher
With the constantly evolving legislation in the transport industry, it is highly recommended by the Traffic Commissioners that all Transport Managers participate in refresher training periodically. Our 2-day Transport Manager Refresher Course is designed to ensure that Transport Managers adhere to industry best practices, remain in compliance with their Operator Licence undertakings, and maintain a favourable Operator Compliance Risk Score (OCRS).
​
By attending our CILT accredited Transport Manager Refresher Courses, you will not only stay informed about legislative changes, but also refresh your existing knowledge on the subjects covered in the full Transport Managers CPC course. This knowledge is crucial for the efficient and compliant management of transport operations. It is expected that refresher training is completed at least every 5 years. Our course demonstrates that you have received training of the required standard for your refresher training needs.
