Driver CPC training course dates – Nottingham

What is the Driver CPC?

The Driver CPC (Certificate of Professional Competence) is a certificate/qualification that must be held by any person who wants to drive any HGV, bus or coach in a professional capacity.

The certificate requires professional drivers to undertake 35 hours of periodic training every 5 years. It is illegal to drive professionally without the CPC and could lead to a £1000 fine.

What are the benefits of the Driver CPC?

Safety

The certificate was introduced as a measure in improving both driving standards and road safety. The periodic training ensures that drivers are fully up to date with all health and safety requirements.

Drivers are made aware of how to avoid accidents or situations that could be brought about by fatigue or stress and how to be alert to potentially serious situations whilst driving. This in turn helps to reduce the number of road related casualties that occur every year within the UK.

Legal

As the training is undertaken every 5 years this allows the driver to update their knowledge around the legalities of driving professionally, ensuring that any changes to legislation are known and understood. It gives each driver the chance to ask questions around legal requirements and how it affects them.

Employability

As it is illegal to drive professionally without the qualification, obtaining it is imperative to gaining work within the logistics industry.
