Becoming a Transport Manager provides the opportunity to take on a leadership role with responsibility for overseeing logistics, vehicle maintenance, compliance, and the efficient operation of a fleet.

This career often enhances problem-solving skills, as transport managers must plan routes, manage drivers, and respond to unforeseen challenges. The role also offers the potential for professional growth, as you stay up-to-date with industry regulations and technological advancements. Additionally, it can be financially rewarding and provides the satisfaction of contributing to a vital industry that keeps goods and services moving across the country.

Frequently asked questions

Transport Manager

Portal+

There are two examinations that candidates need to pass in order to gain their 1071/2009 certification and can then stand as a Transport Manager for an operator within the UK

Paper #01 - Multiple-choice

A 60 mark ‘short question’ format paper. Questions provide an A, B, C or D answer (distractor) format and a notional forty-two marks will achieve a pass.
A maximum of 2hours* is available.
This is a ‘closed book’ test, with only a pencil, blank piece of paper, calculator and dictionary permitted.

Paper #02 - Case Study

A 60 mark paper that presents a case study with 6 to 8 questions.
A notional thirty marks should achieve a pass.
A maximum of 2hrs 15mins* is available.
This is an ‘open-book’ test, allowing the entrant to have ‘hard-copy’ notes and study materials with them.

There are no minimum examination entry requirements. However, candidates need to note that the Department of Transport believe that an average of 140 to 160 hours of study is required to gain the qualification.

This is a Level 3 Qualification and as such is on par with A'level skills. Candidates are also advised to be proficient in England and Mathematics.

Legal age ‘capacity’ to practice as a Transport Manager starts at 18yrs.

Well, that is kind of dependant on the candidate really! The two factors though which result in a better probability of success seem to be ...

Study Time and Effort: The more hours and effort a person puts into their study then the better the changes of gaining the qualification. This involves self-study time to go through the notes, the recommended reading list, and in the case of candidates using our Online+ or Portal+ options, going through the online quiz tools, exercises, past papers, and supporting modules and content.

Options Selected: Whilst you might naturally assume we are attempting the hard-sell here, pass rates clearly show that the more a candidate invests in their studies, then the better the chances of gaining their qualification. The best past rates are with candidates who attend our Online+ course with First Time pass rates between 68% and 92% (2023-2024) .

Those opting for our Essentials option have a First Time pass rate at less that 20%.

Having said that, pitching up to our Online+ for 8 hours over the 12 days is still no guarantee of a pass, candidates still need to put in the core time to get a thorough understanding of the topics

We get this question a lot. The obvious answer is No, of course not.

But.... the examinations are there to assess a candidate's breadth and depth of knowledge in the subject concerned and as such they have to be very specific in the way in which questions are formed, so as to garnish the correct answer from candidates without ambiguity.

So, there's an "art-form" to the questions they ask so as to ensure you, as the candidate, give the correct answer.
