What is the Driver CPC?
The driver CPC was introduced by European Legislation on the 10th September 2008 for D Class licence holders (coach & bus) and on the 10th September 2009 for C Class licence holders (LGV). Existing Drivers (with a few exceptions) now have to complete 35 hours periodic training in a 5 year period. The training must cover the minimum requirements of the legislation on subjects such as road safety; fuel economy; regulation; health and safety; service and logistics. It depends on the training companies on the training companies interpretation of the regulations as to how they deliver the training.
When should drivers complete their training?
The first 35 hours of training should be completed before the 10th September 2014. Existing drivers will lose the right to drive if training is not completed by this date. Drivers must take blocks of training which are no less than 7 hours duration. We recommend spreading the burden of 5 days training over the five year period by completing one 7 hour course per year. The advantages of this are as follows:
Why are we different?
We are committed to delivering excellence to our clients which is why we deliver the INATIV suite of courses. The training suite has been specially designed to deliver 100% of the CPC legislative requirements whilst allowing time to include other best practice and mandatory training that drivers need from time to time. The half day CPC core module covers key aspects from all of the objectives of the EU directive and can be delivered annually as a refresher course alomg with one of the half day technical modules if a company so wishes. Up to two days of bespoke industry specific training, normally taken outside of the 35 hours of CPC periodic training, can be taken as part of the syllabus without detriment to the minimum requirements of the legislation. Companies can also opt for their drivers to gain an Emergency First Aid at Work qualification as part of the programme.
As part of the INATIV consortium we are committed to providing training that ensures drivers are capable of undertaking their duties in an informed manner, focused on safety, economy, and the needs of the company. We treat the driver as a professional, drawing from his or her own experience ensuring that all our course material is relevant to everyday working situations.
Training is, of course, a great benefit to any company, but can be an inconvenience to everyday operations. We work with you to ensure that you get the best from the course modules, whilst causing the least amount of disruption to your operation. We will also spend time planning how we can incorporate any bespoke company information into the syllabus.
Our courses are themed to ensure that the driver has a mechanism for remembering the course content. We use models and scenarios to provide realism. This has the added benefit that the courses remain interactive and interesting. We provide feedback to the company on the results of our unique testing approach, so you can be assured that the information has hit it’s mark.
