Driver CPC!
DRIVER CERTIFICATE OF PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE
(DRIVER CPC)
What is the Driver CPC?
The Driver CPC is a scheme for LGV (and PCV drivers) who drive professionally throughout the UK. It is being developed as a requirement of the EU Directive 2003/59, which is designed to improve the knowledge and skills of professional LGV and PCV drivers throughout their working life.
Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) training is continuing professional development which carries on throughout the drivers’ career. Drivers will have to complete a minimum of 35 hours of approved training every 5 years.
When will the Driver CPC scheme start?
Legislation to underpin the Driver CPC will be in place by 22nd March 2007 and the Driver CPC for LGV drivers must be implemented by 10 September 2009.
How will the Driver CPC affect me?
New drivers must complete their first cycle of periodic training within 5 years of the date they acquired their Driver CPC.
Existing professional bus, coach and lorry drivers deemed to hold Driver CPC by acquired rights, must complete their periodic training within 5 years of the introduction of Driver CPC as follows:
- 9th September 2014 for LGV license holders.
Subjects
Periodic training is designed to complement the individual drivers work and be relevant to their everyday job.
