DRIVER CPC
The Driver CPC is for LGV and PCV drivers who drive professionally throughout the UK. For new drivers it introduces a new initial qualification.
It has been 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. Periodic Training, is undertaken which involves all professional Drivers, new and existing; undertaking 35 hours of training every 5 years. The Driver CPC was implemented for PCV drivers from 10th Sept 2008 and for LGV drivers it is going to be implemented from 10th Sept 2009.
