1st December 2017 saw the industry change forever when Lincolnshire based training provider, NTP Services launched the UK’s first and only fully interactive online training course for Transport Manager CPC. After thousands of hours were spent writing and creating the course the team were thrilled when over hundred students enrolled on launch day and started on their journeys to becoming fully qualified Transport Managers.
This ground breaking initiative aims to take the stress out of Transport Management CPC training and make it easier to pass the OCR recognised qualification than ever before.
The course, the first of its kind in the UK, offers a new way for students to gain the knowledge they need to pass the examinations set out by OCR to achieve a Level 3 Certificate of Professional Competence in Road Haulage. Those wanting to gain the qualification no longer need to travel to classroom based courses nor try and go it alone with a paper based home study pack. The online interactive course offers students the best of all training methods and all students need is access to a computer or tablet and an internet connection
“Quite simply this online Transport Manager CPC course is a game changer and a huge step forward for the industry,” says NTP Services’ Daryl Moore
“We’ve listened to the frustrations and concerns of those in the industry about the complexity of studying for the final exam and so we did something about it and have developed a great new studying tool for the 21st Century.”
Kimbly Mackman explains: “Students only had two options – home study or classroom based training. Both methods have their own benefits and pitfalls, and these will still be available in the future. However, from our own research, it was clear a third option was needed and it needed to offer much more to students than the traditional methods”
The new Transport CPC online course provides students with everything they need to pass the examination. Written in layman’s terms, it includes interactive knowledge, check quizzes that provide results for students instantly, videos covering each topic to cater for different learning styles, weekly live training and Q&A sessions, pre-examination online live study sessions, case studies, complete support from our tutors via email, telephone and through online groups, supporting documents that students can download and save, notes for students to help them re-cap each module, support groups and even a final mock exam.
“The beauty of our course means students will be able to login 24 hours a day, seven days a week from anywhere in the world, at a time to suit them. There’ll be no need to take time off work, to attend classroom based training or have a huge folder of paperwork. Our system will automatically track and maintain the student’s progress, meaning they can pick up where they left off with no worries. All they need to remember is their login details. Simple.” added Daryl Moore.
Reviews from students are already coming in with Jim Cassidy stating “I began this course at the end of last year, and have found it incredibly easy to work through. The course material focuses on the salient parts of the requirements for CPC, allowing you to grasp the concepts involved far quicker than many other courses I have looked at over the years. The benefit of online study is that you can work at your own pace, and recap what you need, when you need to. The additional support from NTP is also fantastic. If you submit an assessment, there is no waiting days for it to come back to you. The marking is fair and constructive, and aside from this, any other questions you may have are answered quickly and fully. Overall, fantastic value for money. If online study is your thing, then this course is most definitely for you.”
The team at NTP are confident the industry will see an increase in pass rates and look forward to showing their pass rates once their first students have undertaken the OCR examinations in March this year. Kelly Moore, part of the development team for the course told us “We’ve provided students with all the material and resources they need to successfully pass the examinations, if they utilise all the resources we have given them, they are dedicated and study then I firmly believe they will pass. As the saying goes though, you can lead a horse to water but can’t make it drink, so students must be committed to put in the work”
The company also wanted to make sure the course was affordable for more people and so they’ve offered a variety of options so students can enrol and get started without having to find a huge sum of money.
The course retails at £750+vat however, there is also an option to purchase blocks of modules. For £200+vat students can gain access to 5 modules per time. It’s set up as 6 different courses and allows students to purchase modules 1-5 first and then move on to 6-10 etc. to suit their time and budget.
“We want more people to become fully qualified and follow their career dreams and this is the perfect vehicle for them to achieve just that!” added Kelly.
