The Certificate of Professional Competence in Road Transport Operations Management (TM CPC) fulfils the criteria outlined in EU regulation (EC) 1072/2009 and SI 265/2018 European Union Occupation of Road Transport Operators regulations as well as subsequent regulations, including (EU) 2020/1055.
These regulations are designed to ensure conformity concerning standard operating criteria for all transport operators throughout the EU. To achieve this aim, those who wish to act as a Transport Manager for or on behalf of a transport undertaking within the EU, or those that want to set up their transport undertaking within the Haulage or Passenger industry, must attend a certified training course, and upon completion, sit and attain a pass mark in the state examination, which is run on behalf of the Department of Transport (Ire) by the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (Ire).
ISM is an approved training provider of this course and is registered with the Department of Transport in Ireland and the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (Ire).
The training course aims to develop the skills of those who wish to function as a registered Transport Manager or to up-skill those who seek to become owner-operators within the Road Haulage or Road Passenger industries within Ireland or the EU.
The ISM Certificate of Professional Competence in Road Transport Management course takes place over ten weeks via a blended learning format. This means those studying with ISM can attend Live Online classes via Zoom and face-to-face in our CILT-approved ISM Training Centre (Tallaght) in Broomhill Business Complex, Dublin 24. The CILT regulations state that ALL delegates must complete at least 100hrs tutor-led training and suggest an additional 100hrs self-study before sitting the examinations.
All online and classroom sessions are live and recorded, allowing delegates to review the classes from their desktops, laptops, or mobile phones. There is also an online class platform where past papers, assessments and assignments are uploaded and assessed/marked by our industry-leading tutors. This allows our delegates to map their progress and our tutors to identify areas for improvement and give additional help and direction to those that require it.

The course is designed to fulfil the EU regulations for Professional Competence for those aiming to either run their own road transport operations or function as company transport managers for existing businesses in Road Haulage or Road Passenger operations. Therefore, delegates who are seeking to attend training should be aware that the course is an intensive and comprehensive one and focuses on nine principal areas:

Delegates should also have an excellent command of English (the course will have heavy theory-based content) as well as basic computer skills (the ability to upload assignments) and good mathematical knowledge (The financial and accounting course element can be challenging).
