Drivers must now have a separate qualification attached to their vocational driving licence and the law insists that they continue their professional development with ongoing training.
The driver certificate of professional competence (CPC) has arisen from the European directive 2003/59/EC.
The attainment of the CPC must be recorded by the issue of a driver qualification card. This means that if a driver leaves or joins your company their training will still be recorded.
Drivers who do not maintain their driver CPC , for instance if they leave the industry but want to start working as a professional driver again must complete 35 hours of periodic training in order to regain their driver CPC.
They must complete the training before they can resume working professionally.
The criteria for the driver CPC is that every driver with a C1, C1+E, C, or C+E and PCV D1, D1+E, D, D+E licence will need to undergo 5 full days training or 35 hours in each 5 year period, the first period of training started in September 2009 lasting until September 2014.
These 35 hours may be broken down into not more than 5 separate blocks of 7 hours each.
However, all new drivers gaining the vocational licence above will take their CPC as part of their HGV licence acquisition training.
As for those who already have their licence you automatically receive grandfather rights which enables you to gain your 35 hours over the next 5 year period which will run until 2014.
All drivers CPC training must be delivered by an Approved Training Centre with approved
courses. All approved training centres will be subject to audit to enable us to comply with the approved criteria.
Training Link Europe Ltd is part of an Approved Training Centres syndicate and is a registered training company for all CPC requirements; this means we are now in a position to provide the required training laid down by the syllabus.
