Exam Information
The crowning moment of your Transport Manager CPC qualification journey is the examination day. While the training and revision days are designed to equip you with the necessary skills and knowledge, the exam serves as a comprehensive assessment of your readiness to manage and lead within the road haulage industry. Here’s what you can expect:
Structure of the Exam
The examination is divided into two distinct parts to provide a well-rounded evaluation of your abilities:
1. Multiple-Choice Section
This portion aims to assess your understanding of the critical theories, terms, and concepts that underpin the road haulage sector. Questions will span the range of modules covered during the 8-day training.
2. Case Study
The case study section requires a more in-depth application of your knowledge. You’ll be presented with a real-world scenario pertinent to the road haulage industry, asking you to make managerial decisions based on the information provided.
Understanding the exam structure and what’s expected can alleviate some of the stress often associated with examinations. At Flagship, our training is tailored not only to impart knowledge but also to prepare you fully for the assessment you’ll face, ensuring that you can approach the exam with confidence.
Pass/Fail Criteria & Retakes
Each section—multiple-choice and case study—is graded independently, and you can pass or fail each part separately; this gives you the advantage of needing to retake only the section you may not pass instead of the entire exam.
Pass Rates
While the industry average pass rate is around 50%, at Flagship, we pride ourselves on our much higher success rate of 75-80%. Our high success rate is a testament to our comprehensive training and commitment to your success.
Retake Options
If you find that you haven’t passed one of the two sections, you have the option to retake just that specific part. We offer guidance and additional resources to help you prepare for any retakes.
Additional Training Options
The world of road haulage is as diverse as the people who make up the industry, and we understand that one size doesn’t fit all when it comes to professional development. That’s why, in addition to our open courses in Peterborough, Flagship offers more flexible training options to meet the unique needs of our clients.
