Driver CPC
Driver CPC is being introduced across the European Union to maintain high driving standards and improve road safety. All professional bus, coach and lorry drivers must hold a Driver CPC if they want to drive for a living (there are a few exempt groups).
Any drivers of lorries of 3.5 tonnes and upwards and minibuses with 9 seats or more must obtain a Driver CPC.
The existing 'Transport Manager's CPC' also known as the 'Operator's CPC' is a separate qualification and anyone holding one who still drives professionally as part of their job will also need to hold a Driver CPC.
The Periodic Training is designed to complement the individual driver's work and be relevant to their every day job. Courses may include SAFED (Safe and Fuel Efficient Driving) style training, defensive driving techniques, first aid, health and safety, driver's hours regulations and tachographs. Courses will also enable drivers to keep up to date with changing regulations.
The syllabus broadly covers:
- Safe and fuel efficient driving
- Legal requirements
- Health and safety service and logistics
