Driver CPC

The Driver CPC is for LGV and PCV drivers who drive professionally throughout the UK. 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. There are two parts to the legislation:

• The Initial Qualification that must be achieved by new LGV and PCV drivers along with their vocational licence to enable them to use their licence professionally.
• Periodic Training, which involves all professional drivers undertaking 35 hours of training every 5 years.

In 2003 the EU passed the Driver CPC Directive which effects all LGV and PCV drivers.

The directive become effective from 10th September 2008 for the PCV sector and from 10th September 2009 for the LGV sector.

The aim of the directive is to increase the amount of knowledge that new drivers need before they can drive and to introduce a compulsory 35 hours of accredited training for all drivers every five years.
