CPC TRAINING

Driver CPC

Is the course for me?

The Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (Driver CPC) is for bus, coach and lorry drivers who drive professionally throughout the UK. It has been developed as a requirement of the EU Directive 2003/59, which is designed to improve the knowledge and skills of professional LGV and PCV drivers throughout their working life.

Driver CPC requires you to complete a minimum of 35 hours of periodic training during every five year cycle for as long as you wish to continue driving professionally.

What will I learn?

Periodic training is designed to complement the individual driver’s work and be relevant to their every day job. Courses may include SAFED (Safe and Fuel Efficient Driving) style training, defensive driving techniques, first aid, health and safety, driver’s hours regulations and tachographs.

Courses will also enable drivers to keep up to date with changing regulations.

Our Driver CPC courses are designed to be one day workshops (7 hours).

What are the entry requirements?

Periodic training is continuing professional development for bus, coach and lorry drivers.

It carries on throughout the professional driver’s career – no matter how infrequently they drive.

The minimum length of a training course is 7 hours. It is important that you allow yourself enough time to complete your training within the five year period. There is no advantage in delaying your periodic training.

The sooner you train, the sooner your knowledge and skills will be refreshed and updated.

How will I be assessed?

Every 7 hours periodic training that is taken will be recorded and on completion of 35 hours training you will be issued a driver qualification card from the DVLA.
