Driver CPC

The European Parliament and Council are introducing compulsory training known as Driver CPC (Certificate of Professional Competence). Driver CPC regulations will apply to new drivers acquiring a pcv licence from September 2008 and for drivers acquiring a lgv licence from September 2009. Those who already hold a vocational licence before those dates will be given acquired (grandfather) rights, however all drivers must complete 35 hours periodic training every five years. Please use the following operator tools to find out more information.
