CPC Training

Driver CPC has been introduced throughout the European Union.  It's aim is to maintain high standards of driving and improve road safety.  Driver CPC covers anyone who drives buses, coaches and minibuses with nine or more passenger seats, and lorries weighing over 3.5 tonnes, for a living.

Drivers must complete 35 hours of periodic training every 5 years, the most cost effective way to do this is to undergo 7 hours (1 Day) of training per year.

We are an RTITB Consortium Member and offer Driver CPC courses at our Deeside Training Centre or at customers premises.  Courses can be tailor made to your specific needs.  Our trainers are qualified LGV Drivers and A1 Assessors, and have completed both the RHA and RTITB training courses to deliver approved Driver CPC courses.

Please see our courses available below.  Each course costs £50 (plus VAT).
