We are delighted to announce, that from April 2021, we will be offering two new Transport Manager Qualifications, giving the transport sector, the Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) they require to operate.

CPC is a qualification for transport managers operating in passenger transport or road haulage. It has been introduced across Europe with the aim of improving road safety and maintaining high standards of driving.

OCR are withdrawing from the market and we have been working closely with them to understand customer needs. These new qualifications will be closely aligned to the OCR format for customer ease, and we are committed to updating the content prior to launch, to ensure they take into account the latest Brexit legislation.

Skills and Education Group Awards are a trusted partner of the automotive industry. We have a strong working relationship with the DVSA, and have for the last five years, provided the management of MOT Tester and Manager qualifications and the MOT Annual Assessment. Our automotive portfolio supports a variety of roles across the sector. We recently launched our suite of qualifications and accreditations for Electric and Hybrid Vehicles – including buses, coaches and HGV’s.

We pride ourselves on providing an excellent service. By becoming a Centre with Skills and Education Group Awards, you will have a direct link to our Customer Support team and a Relationship Manager as a point of contact to share ideas with.
