OLAT covers maintenance, drivers’ hours, tachographs and record keeping but does not replace Transport Manager CPC. For a Traffic Commissioner undertaking, check the exact provider and deadline requirements. GS confirms venue, date and booking terms before payment. Enquire about OLAT.

Choose OLAT with the right evidence

Choose the full awareness course or a refresher based on your role. Neither replaces the Transport Manager CPC qualification.

  1. Check your reason for attending: If a Traffic Commissioner has issued an undertaking or decision, read its exact provider, content and deadline requirements first.
  2. Confirm your written offer: Ask GS for the classroom venue or online joining details, date, duration, syllabus, any assessment or materials, completion evidence and booking terms.
  3. Book after checking suitability: GS takes customer payment after confirming a place. Course completion evidence alone cannot guarantee compliance with a particular decision.

Enquiries are welcome from Kent, Sussex, Hampshire and Berkshire; this does not mean a class is held in every county. The official guide explains operator duties, but does not approve an individual OLAT provider or guarantee a regulatory outcome.
