According to Article 2, point 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1071/2009, the term "transport manager" refers to a natural person employed by a company or, in the case where the company itself is a natural person, that person or, where expressly provided, another natural person designated by the company through a contract, who permanently and effectively manages the transport activities of the company.
According to Article 1, paragraph (3) of Annex 1 to Ministerial Order (OMT) No 1214/2015, individuals who have graduated from high school and meet the conditions set out in Article 8, paragraph (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1071/2009 regarding residence may access training and professional certification as a transport manager. The following applies:
Such individuals undergo the examination in the Member State where they have their usual residence or in the Member State where they work.
Usual residence is the place where a person normally lives, i.e., for at least 185 days in each calendar year, due to personal ties that demonstrate a close connection between that person and the place of residence.
However, the usual residence of a person whose professional ties are located in a place other than the place of their personal ties and who, as a result, lives alternately in different places in two or more Member States, is considered to be the place where that person has personal ties, provided that person regularly returns there. This last condition is not imposed if the person resides in a Member State for the purpose of carrying out a specific mission with a predetermined duration.
Attending courses at a university or school does not imply a change in usual residence.
After completion of the training course, the candidate may take the examination only in the county/municipality of Bucharest in which the authorised centre where he/she completed the training is based.
Candidates who fail the first examination may take a new examination in any county or in the Municipality of Bucharest.
Initial vocational training course
The theoretical examination for the initial professional certification of transport managers consists of the following tests:
a) a computer-based test, lasting two hours, comprising a questionnaire with 100 questions with four possible answers, only one of which is correct;
(b) a written test, lasting two hours, comprising a case study with 20 questions.
In order to pass the examination, candidates must obtain at least 62% of the total marks awarded for the two tests, but the percentage of marks obtained in each test must not be less than 50% of the possible marks.
Remarks:
- if more than 62 correct answers are given to the computer-based questionnaire, passing the examination requires at least 10 correct answers to the case study questions (minimum of 50% of the possible marks);
- no fractions of points are awarded for both the computer-based test and the case study; incomplete/incorrect answers will be marked with 0 and a correct answer will be marked with 1; in the case study the correct answer is the one that satisfies the requirements of the question statement;
- the total cumulative time spent by a candidate on one or more examinations on the same day may not exceed 4 hours;
