Frequently Asked Questions
What is Driver CPC?
Driver CPC is a qualification required by both LGV (lorry) and PCV (bus) drivers who drive professionally. It is aimed at improving their driving skills and knowledge and making them more aware during their working career in the industry. Since its introduction in September 2008 for PCV drivers and 2009 for LGV drivers, drivers must obtain a qualification card within the following five years to continue driving by completing 35 hours periodic training to keep it valid.
What is Periodic Training?
Periodic training is designed to improve drivers existing knowledge, and make them more courteous towards other road users as well as driving in a more fuel efficient manner, making the roads safer.This also gives the drivers updates in changes to current legislations and continues their personnel development.
We have various courses and topics that count towards the 35 hours required. All of our courses have been approved by JAUPT and in some cases can be tailored made to suit any specific requirements.
The minimum training session is 7 hours with our instructors.
