OLAT TRAINING / TRANSPORT MANAGER REFRESHER TRAINING / PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND COACHING
Are you an Operator who needs to understand the exact steps to maintaining compliant operations and avoid a visit from the DVSA?
At The Transport Consultancy, our commitment is to provide tailored, expert training solutions for transport operators, transport managers, and compliance professionals across the East Midlands. The region encompasses key commercial centres from Nottingham’s bustling industrial estates, Leicester’s diverse manufacturing hubs, Derby’s world-class engineering bases, to the logistics corridors of Northampton, Loughborough, Lincoln, Kettering, and Corby. We recognise the complexities posed by the region’s transport infrastructure—including busy motorway networks (M1, M6, A46), freight terminals, and warehousing clusters—and craft our training accordingly to ensure relevancy and impact.
Operator Licence Awareness Training (OLAT)
Our OLAT programme is designed for those responsible for maintaining compliant operations amid these evolving regional challenges. This training covers the practical and legislative frameworks surrounding Operator Licences, with emphasis on the regulatory environment that operators face across Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Derbyshire, and Northamptonshire.
Key topics include:
- Understanding the legal requirements and responsibilities of an Operator’s Licence holder
- Developing and maintaining effective vehicle maintenance systems to meet safety standards
- Applying drivers’ hours regulations, tachograph usage, and record-keeping protocols accurately
- Managing Operator Compliance Risk Score (OCRS) to minimise enforcement actions
- Navigating Traffic Commissioner regulations and potential consequences of breaches
The OLAT course ensures that both new learners and experienced personnel can confidently comply with operational standards—safeguarding licences and enhancing business continuity in a competitive marketplace.

Transport Manager CPC Refresher Course
Our refresher course is critical in maintaining Transport Managers’ up-to-date knowledge in increasingly regulated environments. Cities like Nottingham, Leicester, and Derby are witnessing rapid logistics expansion, with heightened scrutiny from enforcement bodies.
This course suits Transport Managers who want to refresh skills, prepare for legal inquiries, or demonstrate commitment to best practice compliance. It also serves operators returning after an absence needing accelerated reintegration.
Why a Refresher Course Matters
The Traffic Commissioner requires Transport Managers to periodically update their understanding to remain effective, especially for operators within the East Midlands’ dynamic transport landscape where compliance risks are substantial. Ongoing CPD activities—including webinars, workshops, and tailored briefings—supplement refresher training to keep you ahead of regulatory changes.
Our comprehensive course curriculum covers:
- Advanced operator licensing procedures and compliance system updates
- Enhanced vehicle safety and maintenance oversight tailored to regional fleets
- Drivers’ hours and tachograph compliance with latest rulings
- Effective record management, audit preparation, and OCRS mitigation strategies
- Regional enforcement patterns and Traffic Commissioner expectations specific to the East Midlands
- Practical methods for fostering compliant, efficient transport operations
Successful attendees receive nationally recognised certification valued during audits, inquiries, and licence renewals.
