The Driver CPC (Certificate of Professional Competence) is for drivers of passenger-carrying vehicles (PCV) and drivers of large goods vehicles (LGV) who drive professionally throughout the UK and the rest of Europe. It is a legal requirement that involves all professional drivers undertaking 35 hours of Periodic Training every 5 years. Qualification is by attendance so there are no tests or exams to take at the end of the course. The main aim behind the Driver CPC is to improve road safety; provide better-qualified drivers who are up to date with current legislation and to help reduce road casualties. Courses are arranged in modules lasting 3 ½ hours with two being held on the same day. It is a legal requirement that drivers are present for the whole seven hours so it is important you arrive well before the scheduled start time. TLP in collaboration with Direct Driver training are able to offer all or part of your five yearly drivers CPC training requirement. The course can be made up from a number pre-designed modules, or we can consult with you to build something more bespoke. All training is available to purchase from single sessions for one person to multiple sessions for large operations. Training can be conducted anywhere in the country by geography, on your own premises, or at any one of our locations.
