Driver CPC

In July 2011 the RTITB approved Global FLT as a consortium member to deliver training modules for the Master Drivers CPC.

Master Driver for CPC comprises five 7 hour core modules, each of which split into two 3.5 hour modules. This results in the availability of a matrix of 45 different courses, providing a high level of flexibility.   

For LGV lorry drivers the Driver CPC scheme started on 10th September 2009.

If you wish to drive professionally all LGV drivers must carry out Driver CPC periodic training and all new drivers wishing to drive professionally must complete all four of the licence acquisition test modules. 

New drivers from 10th September 2009 will need to pass the Driver CPC in addition to the theory and practical tests if they wish to drive professionally. 

Holders of a PCV or LGV licence prior to the start dates will be able to continue driving professionally on the basis of acquired rights. They will then have to undertake 35 hours of periodic training, which must be completed within a 5 year period from the start date in order to renew their Driver CPC.

Course dates and more details:

Courses can be held at our Training Centre on Gloucester Business Park just off J11A of the M5 or on your premises.

The duration of each course is 7.5 hours at a cost of £65 plus vat per person.
