Operator Licence Awareness Training

The Operator Licence Awareness Training course (OLAT) covers the wide range of regulations that a Transport Manager is responsible for.

Operators have responsibilities including maintaining online records, drivers hours, driver licensing, and vehicle maintenance. Operators need to be compliant and, as importantly maintain such records as to be able to demonstrate compliance. Knowledge supported by procedures and systems helps to ensure operators comply with their legal undertakings.

Attendance is often upon the stipulation of the Traffic Commissioner and is often a condition of obtaining or retaining an Operator Licence.

Operators sometimes attend prior to interacting with the Traffic Commissioner to show demonstrate that their knowledge is current and that they are committed to meeting the requirements of their Operator Licence.

Many Operators find the course to be the easiest method for ensuring that all their Transport Management team keep abreast of the multitude of requirements for running a compliant transport operation.

The course costs £195+VAT. Additional delegates may attend at half price.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Virtual Courses Always Acceptable?

As a general rule, YES.

However, there are a few occasions when the Traffic Commissioner feels that an Operator must attend training in person. These are generally where a Traffic Commissioner is taking enforcement action against an Operator and believes that attending an online course will not be sufficient to change the Operator’s approach to fulfilling their legal obligations.

Enterprise Transport Training Remote Courses are conducted in accordance with the Traffic Commission guidance for virtual training courses.
How do I prove attendance to the Traffic Commissioner?
Why might the Traffic Commissioner insist I attend an Operator Licence Awareness Training Course?

The Traffic Commissioner might require you to attend an Operator Licence Awareness Training Course to ensure that you understand the rules and regulations governing the operation of a road transport business. This course can help you become familiar with the various aspects of running a safe and compliant business, including how to manage drivers’ hours, ensuring that your vehicles meet the correct standards, and adhere to your Operator Licence.

Who needs Operator Licence Awareness Training?

Operator Licence Awareness Training is for anyone who is responsible for the operation of a commercial vehicle, including operators of buses, coaches, lorries, minibuses, and other goods vehicles. This type of training is especially important for those who are responsible for managing, monitoring, and controlling the activities of a business, such as fleet managers, transport managers, and operations managers. The aim of the training is to ensure that operators are aware of their legal and regulatory obligations and understand the implications of non-compliance.
