Driver CPC is compulsory periodic training for vocational drivers, introduced to improve fuel efficiency, road safety and to promote vocational driving as a career within the UK / EU.
Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (Driver CPC)

Both PCV & LGV Vocational Drivers, need to complete 35 hours of periodic training every five years. New drivers need to complete initial training, modules 2 & 4, followed by 35hrs periodic Driver CPC training every five years.
You can also ‘Opt out’ of the new National Driver CPC if you drive in Europe.
As of 3 December 2024, the National Driver CPC is a dedicated qualification for professional HGV/PCV drivers operating solely within the UK. It requires 35 hours of periodic training every 5 years, now allowing more flexible, shorter 3.5-hour courses. It cannot be used to drive professionally in the EU.
It is recommended for drivers to keep track of the periodic hours they have completed by registering on the .GOV check my driver cpc website. Not only can you track what hours you have completed, but you will also know when you are going to receive your Driver Qualification Card (DQC).
