What is CPC?
Existing drivers; All professional Category D, D+E and D1 drivers will be required to attend 35 hours of training in every five year period from 10 September 2008. This training is known as “Periodic Training.” For existing drivers who hold a PCV Licence acquired before September 2008, their first five year period will cover 10 September 2008 to 09 September 2013. This means that all existing drivers will need to complete their 35 hours of training by September 2013.
New drivers acquiring a PCV vocational entitlement (D1, D1+E, D, D+E licence) after the 10th September 2008 and/or an LGV vocational entitlement (C1, C1+E,C or C+E licence) after the 10th September 2009 will have to obtain the initial Driver CPC in addition to their licence to drive professionally.
Periodic Training is regulated in line with the requirements of the Directive. Only training centres that have been approved can deliver Periodic Training and all individual courses must also be approved. In the UK, the approving body is the Joint Approvals Unit for Periodic Training (JAUPT). All completed training will be registered on a driver database, enabling DVLA to issue Driver Qualification Cards to drivers who complete their training requirements
Both new and existing drivers must complete a total of 35 hours Periodic Training within the 5 years following their ‘acquired rights’ or initial Driver CPC to keep their Driver CPC valid. Ultimately, it is the driver’s responsibility to decide if this directive is applicable to them but we can advise fully in this regard. Just contact us and we will let you know what you will have to do and within what timescale.
