Who requires the Driver's CPC?

Driver’s CPC

All drivers who are driving vehicles over 3.5 tonnes, or with 9 Passenger seats or more are required to do the Periodic / Driver’s CPC (as well as the initial where applicable) – 35 Hours of drivers CPC training every five years.

Before the course starts you will need to provide your driving licence number & once the course is finished, we will log your hours as normally

Exemptions –

Certain drivers do not require to have the drivers Certificate of Professional Competence – These are either based on what the vehicle is transporting, or what the vehicle is used for. Drivers are exempt if the vehicle is:

used for non-commercial carriage of passengers or goods, for personal use;

undergoing road tests for technical development, repair or maintenance purposes, or of new or rebuilt vehicles which have not yet been put into service; (must be driven by a qualified motor mechanic)

used in the course of driving lessons for the purpose of enabling that person to obtain a driving licence or a Drivers CPC; (must be driven by driving instructors)

carrying material or equipment to be used by that person in the course of his or her work, provided that driving that vehicle does not constitute the driver’s principal activity**

with a maximum authorised speed not exceeding 45 km/h; (such as agricultural tractors)

used by, or under the control of, the armed forces, civil defence, the fire service and forces responsible for maintaining public order;

used in states of emergency or assigned to rescue missions.

** For example, transporting scaffolding to the drivers place of work. Driving must not become the major part of the work. IE – The work being carried out at the site of work, must be a significantly greater use of time than driving itself.

Approved CPC Courses

We have the following courses that are CPC approved:

Driver Essentials – By the end of this course, students will be able to answer questions on how long they are legally allowed to drive for, the correct use of a tachograph and be aware of the working limits under the working time directive.

Driving Principles – On completion of this course students will be able to demonstrate a greater awareness of vulnerable road users, operating vehicles within their limits and the penalties that can be issued for noncompliance.

Emergency First Aid & Health and Safety – At the end of this course students will be able to demonstrate what action should be taken when confronted with someone requiring emergency first aid treatment. Students will successfully be able to identify different types of illnesses and provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Mental Health, well-being & Driver Behaviour – The course teaches about the importance of good mental health. It focuses on some mental health conditions that may be encountered and what to look for.
You will then go on to look at other general areas of well-being, for example, the importance of healthy eating, including the way these impact driving behaviour. This will include how to protect yourself in road rage incidents.

Vehicle Defects & Driver Licencing – By the end of this course students will be able to identify the types of checks that drivers need to complete on their vehicles. They will also be able to identify the main features of the driver’s licence and understand the licence coding system. Students should also be able to answer questions on safe and fuel-efficient driving and understand techniques involved in reducing fuel consumption.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Following a review by the EU Commission, it has been decided that the Driver CPC directive will now specify that ‘a range of different subjects should be covered over the 35 hours.’
This means that drivers can no longer repeat modules in the course of attaining their required 35 training hours over a rolling five-year period.

Classroom & Online Courses

We have both Classroom Based Driver’s CPC and Online Based courses available for you to choose from.

If you choose to complete either our Classroom or Online courses, both will count towards the required 35 hours of CPC training that you need to complete every 5 years as a professional driver.
