Our CPC Periodic Training
On the 10th September 2009 all existing Commercial LGV drivers were required to have gained their Driver CPC (DCPC). Which means if an LGV driver does not have a valid Driver CPC card they cannot drive any vehicle over 3.5 tonnes professionally. Cards are valid for 5 years and in order to keep the DCPC card up to date and continue to drive professionally you must complete approved periodic training. This can only be delivered by organisations and training providers approved by the Joint Approvals Unit Periodic Training (JAUPT).
We have a regular timetable of 7 hour modules all written in house and covering a wide variety of subject areas and key subjects essential to any professional driver.
Our CPC Course Titles
Our Driver CPC courses are designed and written by our Training Manager and are all JAUPT approved. We ensure the training delivered is varied, interesting and is very relevant to the Transport industry and its day to day commercial demands.
