What is it?


Most drivers who wish to use their LGV or PCV vocational driving licence professionally are required by law to hold a valid Driver CPC qualification. Both drivers and the operators they work for are at risk of fines and other penalties for not holding the qualification when driving commercial vehicles. 


Who should attend?


Holders of vocational lorry (category C1, C1E, C and CE) and/or bus (category D1, D1E, D and DE) licences are required by the regulations to complete 35 hours of periodic training every 5 years. 

Our Driver CPC courses cover a wide range of subjects so that drivers can improve or add to their existing knowledge and skills, develop professionally and remain safe and legally compliant. 

A recommended best practise is to complete 1 day (7 hours) of training per year so that drivers may be regularly kept up to date.

Training Reviews

Thank you for getting me through my trailer training and taking me to a first time pass. I am absolutely thrilled. Anyone considering getting a towing licence should definitely use this company. They are very patient and understanding and really know their stuff! The van and trailer are a great set up and good to tow. They happily adapted my training to suit my needs and help me worked through all the areas needed to pass. Highly recommended.

Thank you much Richard and Kay! - Meg Atkinson
