CPC?
Driver CPC training for qualified drivers
In most cases, to operate a Large Goods Vehicle weighing over 3.5 tonnes or a Passenger Carrying Vehicle with more than 9 seats professionally in the UK, a Driver CPC qualification is mandatory alongside the appropriate licence category.
​
To acquire or renew the CPC entitlement, drivers must undergo 35 hours of approved training, divided into 5 modules of 7 hours each. The qualification remains valid for 5 years. Opting for online Driver CPC training is now an option, offering a more convenient and cost-effective alternative to traditional classroom courses.
