Periodic CPC
The Driver CPC (DCPC) is short for “Driver Certificate
of Professional Competence”. It has been introduced
to the UK through EU Directive 2009/59. It is a new qualification that all
HGV, coach and bus drivers will
need if they wish to drive professionally for a living.
Driver CPC has 3 main objectives.
1, improve road safety
2, Underpin and expand on existing driver knowledge and skills
3, Ensure new entrants have the required skills and knowledge.
Driver CPC is divided into two types.
Initial Driver CPC required for all new entrants requiring cat C1 or
C.
Periodic Driver CPC Required for all drivers who already have PCV/LGV
entitlement and wish
to continue to drive professionally.
