EU Directive 2003/59 requires all new drivers to acquire the Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (Driver CPC) for the vocational driving of category D and D1 (PCV) from the 10th September 2008 and category C and C1 (LGV) from the 10th September 2009.

Holders of vocational licenses prior to 10th September 2008/9 will be granted Grandfather Rights and will not have to acquire the Driver CPC. They will, however, have to undertake 35 hours of Periodic Training, to be completed within a 5 year period from 10th September 2008/9 as will all new drivers in order to renew their Driver CPC.

• The Driver CPC will impact on almost 1,000,000 professional drivers.
• 3,000,000 Periodic Training hours will be required annually for LGV drivers alone.
• RTITB estimates that more than 1,000 new trainers will be required in addition to those training for licence acquisition.

To learn how to deliver quality, cost effective training and help industry meet the challenge presented by the Driver CPC, ring Nigel Kirkwood on 01704 894 555.
