Operator Licence Awareness Training helps transport teams understand the responsibilities, systems, and day-to-day controls needed to support a compliant operator licence.
Course Overview
OLAT is designed to give learners a clear working understanding of operator licensing, compliance expectations, and the practical standards that sit behind a well-run transport operation.
The course introduces the core responsibilities linked to holding and supporting an operator licence, including the systems, records, and checks that help a business stay compliant.
Learners explore how maintenance, driver management, vehicle standards, documentation, and transport legislation connect in daily operations, helping teams recognise what good practice looks like.
It is suitable for both new and experienced transport personnel and can contribute 7 hours towards Driver CPC periodic training where the chosen route is appropriate for the learner.
