The core modules covered are:
- Managing Business Operations

OLAT
Operator Licence Awareness Training (also known as OLAT) covers the necessary types of compliance that must be understood by a transport operator.
Regulations state that an operator who seeks a standard National or International Licence must satisfy the Licensing Authority that they are either:
- Professionally competent
or
- Employing someone as a transport manager who is professionally competent.
The OLAT training course is designed to help all transport professionals develop their understanding of legal contingencies. This helps them ensure that there is compliance within their organisation.
The idea of the OLAT training is to reinforce the duties of a transport manager. This includes reiterating the requirements to maintain operator compliance.
An operator licence holder also has responsibility for legal use and mechanical condition of the vehicle in question.
