Driver CPC Periodic Training
You must complete 35 hours of Driver CPC Periodic Training every 5 years to keep your Driver Certificate of Professional Competence. Our trainers have been approved to deliver approved training courses for periodic training.
DVSA has reviewed how courses can be delivered and this has been approved by the UK government. From 3rd December 2024, there were some changes to Driver CPC. You can read the full details here.
To attend these courses you must hold a driver qualification card with less than five years to expiry, or your driver qualification card has already expired or you have ‘acquired rights’. If you are not sure if you are eligible, just give us a call and we will help you to confirm eligibility.
You should check the expiry date of your card and make sure that you have sufficient time to complete the training before the card expires. The following link explains what to do if you miss your training deadline.https://www.gov.uk/driver-cpc-training/if-you-miss-your-training-deadline
Taking the same course more than once
You can only take the same course more than once in each 5-year period if you have a good reason to repeat it – for example, maintaining a dangerous goods qualification.
If you do not have a good reason, DVSA can cancel the hours you got from the course. You might lose your Driver CPC card if cancelling the hours takes your total back under 35 hours.
If you have recently completed all of your 35 hours but have not received your new card you should check to make sure that all the courses you have attended have been registered. You can check here. If a course you have attended is not showing on the record, you will need to contact the company that arranged your training, who can check with DVSA to make sure that the records are correct. If you have completed all your training, but your existing CPC card is not due to expire for more than a year then you will not receive your new cpc card until a year before its expiry.
We are currently offering the following Classroom CPC modules. These are all 7 hour courses which are suitable for anyone wishing to gain either a National or International Driver Qualification card. All courses take place at our premises at Norfolk Showground, Norwich. We are also offering the Return to Driving Module
If your Driver CPC card expired between 2 months and 2 years ago, you can now complete just 7 hours of specific CPC training to regain your ability to drive professionally in the UK.
How it Works:
✔️ Complete our Driver CPC Return to Driving Module (7 hours of training).
✔️ Receive a 1-year CPC card, allowing you to drive lorries in the UK.
✔️ Within that year, complete an additional 28 hours of CPC training (National or International) to fully renew your CPC. The next return to Driving course is 9th June 2025.
The price for each day is £86.75 including vat and DVSA upload fee.
If you are looking to attend the shorter 3.5 hour courses towards your ‘National’ Driver Qualification card, please let us know as we can schedule you in alongside our existing courses (see dates below). The cost for a 3.5 hour course is £53 including vat and DVSA upload.
