DRIVER CPC

For Bus or Coach drivers the deadline is September 2013. For Lorry drivers September 2014. After those dates - if you don't have a valid DRIVERS QUALIFICATION CARD you cannot drive professionally and if caught doing so may face a fine of £1000 (and the same applies to whoever employed you).

In most cases all you need to do is complete a single 7 HOUR TRAINING SESSION each year to
GET QUALIFIED and STAY QUALIFIED. You MUST have completed 35 hours (5 days) of training by the deadlines above.

If you haven't 'got any training hours in' by now then you're falling behind and you need to catch up.

There isn't a PASS or FAIL. There are NO EXAMS or TESTS. The DRIVER CPC is attendance only.

Yes it means going back to the classroom and you might not have been in one of those for years, but it's nothing to worry about. Book a course - Turn up - And be prepared to learn.
THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT.

The DRIVER CPC is all about PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. REFRESHING your knowledge, LEARNING new skills and putting them into practice. You'd be surprised what you've forgotten over the years.

What about when 'Bill at the burger van' told you 'this and that' about the rules and regulations? Did he really know the score?

"Nah mate, I'm tellin ya, you can drive for 5 hours without no breaks if you're on a digi card and the transport manager can't do a thing about it! Honest - I've been doing it for years! What do these flamin managers know eh? They aint out 'ere drivin are they? Nah ...... trust me mate, I've been in this game long enough."

'Burger Van Law' ....... something we can all do without.

Of course you may be sitting there reading this and thinking it's all your boss's problem - well you'd be wrong! The DRIVER CPC is YOUR qualification. It's part of YOUR licence and it's legally YOUR responsibility to get qualified.

Of course whoever you work for might organise DRIVER CPC courses for you - they might even pay for it or offer you a subsidised rate - but what if they don't? OK it means they aren't the best boss in the world but meanwhile you need to get on with it and sort it out.

Click on the CALENDAR on the left, choose a date a book yourself on a course. With a full 7 hours course for only £60.00 including upload fee & VAT it's not too bad. We offer training on SATURDAY & SUNDAY as well to help you fit it in with your working week. (Although remember any training may count as 'Work' and must be accounted for within your working week)

Alternatively - give your boss our number and ask him to call. We can arrange courses at your place of work, during the week, at the weekend - whatever suits. We can sort him a deal he can't refuse.
