From September 2009 all LGV licence holders who drive professionally will need to complete periodic training.

 

This is known as Driver CPC Periodic Training and consists of 35 hours of training over 5 years which can be delivered flexibly - either all together in one 5 day course or spread over the 5 year period as long as it is completed by September 2014.

 

It has become a requirement as a result of an EU Directive and its intention is to improve the knowledge and skills of professional drivers throughout their working life. It is now a mandatory requirement for new drivers, drivers who already hold a licence have been allowed 'grandfather rights' for the first 5 years.

 

There are going to be more than 500,000 drivers for who this training will be a requirement by September 2014, so why not spread the cost and start your periodic training as soon as possible.

 

Experienced drivers may ask the question - ' I have been driving professionally for 20 years, how will I benefit?' at Training Express we appreciate how valuable time is and will do our best to make the sessions an interesting and useful experience. Periodic Training can only be delivered by centres who have been approved by the Joint Approvals Unit for Periodic Training, Training Express is now a Centre, which means that we are able to deliver the training and upload the training hours a driver has completed to the DSA system which is part of the new CPC requirement.
