What is Driver CPC?

The Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (Driver CPC) is intended to help improve road safety & maintain high standards. 

Driver CPC is 35 hours of periodic training completed every 5 years cycle, the training is split into 7 hour sessions.

It was introduced in 2008 for PCV and in 2009 for LGV.  Drivers must complete 35 hours of Driver CPC Periodic Training every 5 years.

We offer dedicated Driver CPC courses, and we also offer Driver CPC hours through Emergency First Aid, ADR and Manual Handling.

Who should attend?

Any driver operating a vehicle over 3.5 tones or a bus with 9 or more seats on a professional basis (hire or reward).

I have both Licenses?

If you have both an LGV & PCV license you can attend either course & count it towards your total 35 hours. You must split the training if you intend to drive both LGV & PCV. The training you complete should be relevant to your job.

Duration of Training

Each session covers 7 hours of periodic training completed over 5 days to give you the full 35. You can complete the training in a block booking, or complete one day at a time.
