Who needs Driver CPC?

All prospective and existing professional drivers of lorries, buses and coaches are affected by this. So, whether hiring a new recruit or managing the transition to CPC certified drivers, it is essential that you are aware of what this new licensing requirement involves.

How to comply with Driver CPC regulations

The Driver CPC Initial Qualification route is for any new drivers hoping to enter the road haulage or passenger carrying industries.

Initial qualification consists of 4 parts, all of which drivers must pass to qualify.

    1. Part 1 – theory test (this includes a multiple-choice and hazard perception test)

    2. Part 2 – Driver CPC case studies test

    3. Part 3 – driving ability test

    4. Part 4 – Driver CPC practical demonstration test

If successful, your drivers will be issued with a driver qualification card which must be kept with them at all times when driving professionally, and which will be valid for five years.

Periodic Driver CPC Training

Following initial qualification drivers must then complete 35 hours of periodic training every five years, if they want to keep their Driver CPC status. Drivers can check online for the number of hours of CPC training that they have completed.

Only training that has been approved and delivered by a JAUPT registered centre will count towards certification. Driver CPC courses will qualify drivers for a minimum of seven hours for a one day course up to the full 35 hours for a 5 day course. Courses can be selected to not only fulfil driver CPC, but also to enhance drivers’ skills and deliver essential driver training.
