Driver CPC Modules
30/07/2010
National now provides Driver CPC training
What is Driver CPC periodic training?


Driver CPC (certificate of professional Competence) 
was introduced across the
European Union to raise standards and improve safety.
 All professional bus and coach
drivers and drivers of Lorries of 3.5 tons and upwards,
license categories C, C1, CE,
C1E must hold a Driver CPC if they want to drive for a 
living.


Affected drivers will need to complete a minimum
of 35 hours of approved training within every 5 year
cycle starting on September 10th 2008 for bus and 
coach drivers and September 10th 2009 for 
lorry drivers.
The minimum length of a periodic training course  
is 7hours. 


Courses can be split into two parts of
3.5 hours subject to approval.
However the second part must start within 24 hours
of the completion of the first part in order to count 
towards driver CPC periodic training. 
Periodic training should be designed to 
complement a driver’s work and be relevant 
to their everyday job.


Those who hold licences in category C, C1, CE, C1E 
on the date of introduction be granted acquired rights 
(Grandfather Rights) up until 9th September 2014.
Before September 9th 2014 those who wish to continue 
driving for a living will need to have completed 
35 hours of approved periodic training.


Upon completion of all 5 Modules no further tests or
examinations will be required and you will have
accumulated a total of 35 hrs Training.


Full Module details will be added to our Website
in the next few days but in the meantime
please contact us for more information.
