Press Release – 13^th April 2015

Dublin training course plays key role in efforts to fill 15,500 Transport sector job vacancies

DUBLIN is leading the way as major centre for candidates who will fill many of the 15,500 job vacancies that could become available in the Freight Transport Sector over the next five years.

CPC.ie is enrolling for the latest Transport Manager Courses in Dublin after which successful candidates will receive an internationally recognised qualification for life from the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport in Ireland.

A Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) in Transport Management is a compulsory requirement for any individual who wishes to fill one of the vacancies that are due to come online.

The Director of CPC.ie, Tony Hynes, said: “Road freight is the most common means of transporting freight in Ireland. An estimated 48,800 persons are currently employed in core Freight Transport, Distribution and Logistics Sector (FTDL) occupations. These roles are spread across a range of sectors within the economy including transportation and storage, manufacturing and retail and wholesale trade. Due to expansion and replacement demand for those employed in these occupations some 13,500 to 15,500 job vacancies could become available up to 2020. There is no reason why Kerry people should not take the steps to achieve the CPC in Transport Management to ensure that they are job-ready to fill any of upcoming vacancies.”

Several priority recommendations were outlined in a report from the Expert Group of Future Skills Needs* to ensure that Ireland has the right skills base to facilitate international trade and domestic freight transportation and drive growth within the wider economy.

CPC.ie has a 99% pass rate and all course participants will receive a strong grounding in Financial & HR Management, Health & Safety, Employment & Contract Law, Marketing and other key areas that are crucial for achieving success in the Transport sector.

The Part-Time Dublin CPC Transport Manager Course will commence on Saturday 5^th December at the Green Isle Hotel, while the Full-Time Transport Manager Courses will start on Wednesday 6^th January and it’s expected to attract participants from Dublin and surrounding counties.

Full details of the Transport Manager CPC Course dates, fees and exam times are available online from www.CPC.ie, by email from info@CPC.ie or by calling CPC.ie on 1890-374837 (1890-DRIVER).

I felt it necessary to contact you and tell you how grateful I am for all your inspiration and training on the Transport Managers CPC.
 On your course I learnt so much in such a short space of time. Your methods of teaching were so to the point and I still keep your handouts to look back on.  I gained an insight into a whole new career. It was in your classes that I got inspired and from then on, I knew this is where I want my career. In your class I learnt about the other courses available in Logistics. In 2011, I successfully obtained my Diploma in Logistics & Supply Chain Management and I am now proceeding with my Bachelors Degree in Supply Chain & Transport Management. 
 
Just recently, I was hired as the Transport Manger of a large fleet and I look back now and I know of all the great lecturers I have had, you inspried me the most. Your course and teaching methods are superior and this changed the way I think about learning. I now know learning and education is continuously improving skills and investing in my future. Thank You

NEW DRIVER CPC – 30,000 DRIVERS TRAINED

CPC.IE, Ireland’s CPC specialists have now trained over 30,000 drivers in their “nationally acclaimed” Driver and Transport Management CPC (Certificate of Professional Competence) Courses. CPC.IE has been delivering Transport Training Courses for 25 years at 30 venues throughout the country.

All professional Truck and Bus drivers must now attend a one day training course per year and according to Tony Hynes of CPC.IE, whilst a lot of drivers were hesitant and sceptical about the course initially, the feedback has been brilliant. The drivers who have attended the Driver CPC modules with CPC.IE are extremely enthusiastic about the course and have praised the practicality of the content. In the current economic environment operators have been very impressed with the cost savings which can be applied to the bottom line. Others, because of the relevance of the subject matter, have even attended the course even though they are not obliged to.

CPC.IE (based in Tralee) is currently airing a new unique TV programme, “Driving For Living”, on City Channel to find Ireland’s Most Professional Driver. Concept originator Tony Hynes of CPC.IE explains that this is the first time a reality TV programme of this kind has ever been undertaken. Hundreds of applicants were reduced to just three and each driver must undertake four tasks related to driving a heavy goods vehicle. These tasks include driving skills, health and Safety, eco-driving and vehicle checks and each driver was awarded marks for each task by judges in the industry. The overall winner will receive a €2000 cash prize, a Transport Management CPC Course and a specially designed trophy.

Tony is Managing Director of CPC.IE whose prime motivation is to save lives and promote SAFED – Safe and Fuel Efficient Driving.
