Driver CPC
(Periodic Training)

From 10th September 2009
All commercial LGV drivers will need to complete 35 hours of training before 9th September 2014
(that is Drivers who have a PCV or LGV licence)

Drivers with a PCV or LGV licence before 10/09/2008 have acquired rights to a Driver CPC.

The Driver CPC will be evidenced by issuing drivers with a Driver Qualification Card (DQC), similar to the driving licence and will be issued by the DVLA. 

It will be mandatory for Drivers to carry evidence that they hold Driver CPC when they are driving professionally. Drivers with acquired rights will not be issued with a DQC until they have completed their first 5 years of periodic training. They will be able to show they have acquired rights by the date on their driving licence showing when they acquired their vocational driving licence.

There are no exams to pass; you have to do 35 hours total training, either all at once or 5 x 7 hour days prior to 9th September 2014 CPC renewal, 'DQC' (Driver Qualification Card) issued and lasts 5 years,

"Days" can be a "pm" plus the following "am"
Each "day" attendance gets you one point on an achievement card
5 points = DQC, select the "days" that you want (up to 5)

Bank Holidays like Xmas, and school holidays can be used for training

You have 5 years to complete – don’t leave it to the last minute !!
