Trusted by the Transport Industry Since 2007
MDR Training UK has been part of the UK transport sector for nearly two decades. From our base in Coalville, Leicestershire, we work with professionals at every stage of their career — from those preparing for their first qualification through to established operators protecting hard-won licences.
Our accreditations — DVSA Earned Recognition, CILT, ISO 9001, ELCAS — reflect the standards we hold ourselves to. But what students remember is the people: tutors who still work in the industry they teach, and a team that picks up the phone.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of training does MDR offer?
MDR Training UK delivers a full range of courses and services for the UK transport sector — from entry-level qualifications through to ongoing support for established operators. Visit our course comparison page for a full overview of options.
What does a transport manager do?
A transport manager holds the legal responsibility for the day-to-day operation of vehicles on a UK operator licence — making sure drivers, vehicles, hours, and maintenance all stay compliant with the law. It's a named role on the licence itself, which is why the qualification is regulated and exam-tested. If you're new to the role or thinking about taking it on, our course comparison page walks through your options.
Are your courses accredited?
Yes. MDR Training is a CILT-accredited training centre, a DVSA Earned Recognition provider, ISO 9001 certified, and ELCAS approved for funded training. Our qualifications are fully recognised across the industry.
Who are MDR Training's tutors?
Our tutors are practising transport professionals — experienced transport managers, compliance specialists, and industry-qualified instructors who work in the sector they teach. CPC tutors are CILT-qualified to deliver the syllabus, and our compliance auditors carry DVSA approval. Day-to-day, that means examples in class come from this week, not last year.
Can I study online or do I need to attend in person?
We offer both. Whichever way you prefer to learn — and however much time you have — there's a route that fits. Compare delivery formats to find what suits you.
Where are you based?
Our training centre and offices are at 1 Franks Road, Bardon, Coalville, Leicestershire, LE67 1TT. Students can also study with us from anywhere in the UK.
Do you offer funded training for military personnel?
Yes, we're an ELCAS-approved provider. Eligible service leavers and veterans can use their Enhanced Learning Credits towards our qualifications. Visit our ELCAS page for details.
