Traffic commissioner Nick Denton reflected on transport manager training by saying:
“I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve pointed out to CPC holders that they’ve done no refresher training since qualifying – often decades ago. If you were told a pilot last received training in 1978, you wouldn’t get on the aircraft. Neither would I.
It’s why traffic commissioners have no confidence in TMs who don’t do anything to keep themselves up to date. They’re usually stuck in the same decade as our untrained airline pilot.
Drivers now have to attend training every five years, so why not transport managers?”
