Being an island off an island we in Ireland are uniquely dependent on the transport industry whether it be haulage or passenger sectors.
Especially in these very challenging times, transport and logistics offer many excellent opportunities for those wishing to set up their own haulage or passenger business, or job- seekers wishing to access employment in this fundamental important economic sector. The Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC ) in Transport Management (which is obligatory if you want to put your own truck or bus on the road ) is increasingly becoming a prerequisite to pursuing a career in transport. As well as enhancing your career, qualifying you as a transport manager and up-skilling, it is also an internationally recognised qualification for life.
If you are unemployed or facing the loss of your job you may be entitled to funding for the course from your local FAS, Local Employment Offices (Obair ), or Social Welfare. Certified by the Chartered Institute of Transport & Logistics the subjects covered in the course include: setting up and managing a transport business; effective marketing techniques; employment, health and safety and contract law; costing/pricing and financial management; tachograph and hours of driving legislation; national and international documentation, etc. Approved CPC courses in Transport Management are run at weekends by Tony Hynes who has successfully put thousands of students through the CPC exam by using his own specially developed materials and his unique dynamic delivery style. He is offering a free Driver CPC course with his next Transport Manager CPC course which starts on Saturday 20 June.
