The Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) for drivers came into effect on the 10th September 2009 for LGV drivers.

For drivers already holding an entitlement (Categories C1, C1+E, C, C+E) there will be a requirement for 'periodic training'. This periodic training will be recorded training of 35 hours completed every 5 years. The periodic training can be completed in blocks of at least 7 hours at anytime during the 5 years, so long as the total of 35 hours is completed prior to the 5 year expiry.

In order to retain the entitlement (Categories C1, C1+E, C, C+E) this training will have to be completed by all relevant drivers. Some of the areas that drivers will cover during this training will include:

• The ability to optimise fuel consumption
• Make drivers aware of the risks and accidents at work
• Health & Safety
• Drivers hours & records

Also note that if you attend an ADR training course this can count towards your Drivers CPC. It will also save you or your company money.

Please contact Fremantle Training & Transport about how you can save money; we are always happy to answer any questions that you may have.
