Minimum Age for CPC Qualifications

Learners can register on the Level 3 Certificate of Professional Competence for Transport Managers Passenger Transport from the age of 16. However, the Department for Transport feels that it should be made clear to all applicants that the Traffic Commissioners in Great Britain have indicated that it is highly unlikely that they would accept anyone under the age of 18 as an appropriate transport manager for the purposes of satisfying the professional competence requirements to hold or apply for of an operators’ licence. The Transport Regulation Unit in Northern Ireland has taken the same view on this matter.

About the Qualification

The SEG Awards Level 3 Certificate of Professional Competence for Transport Managers Passenger Transport has been developed to qualify students to be nominated as the professionally competent person on a standard operator licence.

The Learning Outcomes and Assessment Criteria of this qualification have been derived directly from Regulation EC No 1071/2009 and provide assessment which is comparable to the assessment provided in other EU member states.

This qualification specifically aims to:

• assess students against the requirements of Regulation EC No 1071/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009
• assess the levels of knowledge and practical aptitude necessary for the management of a transport undertaking as set out in Annex 1 of Regulation EC No 1071/2009
• assess skills and knowledge at a level which is harmonised at a minimum level with the skills and knowledge assessed in all EU Member States

The Skills and Education Group Awards CPC qualification is currently a lifetime award, which means that once obtained, the qualification will not expire, and holders will be considered professionally competent for the rest of their lives. However, professional competence can be affected at any time by certain personal circumstances, for example, if the holder is convicted of certain criminal offences.
