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 will be 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 your 5th day of training 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.

The price for each day is £86.75 including vat and DVSA upload fee.

The next Saturday course is 18th January 2025. 

If you are looking to attend the shorter 3.5 hour courses towards your ‘National’ Driver Qualification card, please let us know as in due course we will be scheduling suitable courses.

If you want further information about e-learning courses, please call us on 01603 443954. These courses will be available soon.
