What is Driver CPC?

The Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) is a qualification for professional bus, coach and lorry drivers. It was introduced across Europe with the aim of improving road safety. You must have the full Driver CPC if you drive a lorry, bus or coach as the main part of your job. Every 5 years drivers must take 35 hours of Driver CPC training to keep driving professionally. Training must be undertaken in the country of normal work/occupancy. Driver CPC aims to improve road safety by helping drivers of buses, coaches and lorries obtain, maintain and develop their professional skills and knowledge,

Warning! You can be fined up to £1,000 for driving professionally without Driver CPC.
