I recently completed the OLAT training with Rowan, and I couldn't be more pleased with my experience. As a brand-new student in the industry, this course served as my first introduction to the compliance aspects of running a haulage company. The insights provided were invaluable, offering a comprehensive understanding of the operational and regulatory requirements involved in the business. While it's easy to gather opinions from various sources, nothing compares to the reliability of taking this course.
Colum Boland
Brilliant course, great value for money. The course is very thorough and Rowan was extremely knowledgeable.
Catriona Youngson
The OLAT online course chaired by Rowan, was very informative with a relaxed atmosphere. I organise the day to day administration involving the company lorry. This course explains the importance of the Operator Licence and all that is required and what affects the licence. Helpful ideas for going forward and the importance of checks, training etc. Highlights the responsibility that goes with an Operator Licence. Can't recommend this training course highly enough. Thanks

We had a fantastic experience with Nationwide Transport & Training. They guided us through every step of getting our operator’s licence and made what could have been a stressful process feel straightforward and manageable. Their knowledge, professionalism, and clear communication really stood out, and they were always on hand to answer questions and keep us on track. We couldn’t have done it without their support and would highly recommend them to anyone needing help with an operator’s licence or transport compliance.

Mark Lester
Excellent company with vast knowledge and experience in the transport industry. Very easy to deal with and booking courses extremely easy. Don't just book the top searches on Google when looking for a company for transport training look further down the search and you will find them. The 2 day transport manager refresher was very informative and having it delivered via zoom makes it so easy to attend. Would highly recommend and when I need to do another refresher I know where I will be contacting.
Adam Humphrey
I can highly recommend Nationwide Transport & Training! Charlie dealt with my new application for my operators licence and was always on hand to answer any questions or concerns I had as were her colleagues. I would highly advise anyone to use this company to complete their O licence as they have the experience to get everything in order and get it right! Thanks again to Charlie and the team.

Professional service from start to finish, found items on my application that would have been a problem and I would have missed, so stopped a delay in my operators license application, very please with their communication throughout and taking the olat course was a great help for me knowing responsibilities going forward.
