What is Driver CPC?
Driver CPC is being introduced across the European Union to maintain high driving standards and improve road safety. All professional bus, coach and lorry drivers must hold a Driver CPC if they want to drive for a living (there are a few exempt groups).
How it will affect you?
All drivers will need to complete a minimum of 35 hours of periodic training within every five year period. This training will require attendance at courses but will not require drivers to take or pass further examinations.
What is Periodic Training?
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. 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. Only approved courses can be taken with approved training centres.
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 which will enhance your professionalism.
