Driver CPC
Flexible, affordable periodic training for bus and truck drivers. Bank your 35 hours in half-days or full days, with trainers who have done the job themselves.
Course overview
If you want to keep driving professionally, your Driver Qualification Card (DQC) is what keeps you on the road. By law, professional drivers must complete 35 hours of periodic training every five years — and that applies to Category C (truck) and Category D (bus) licence holders alike.
We know life on the road is unpredictable, so we've built our Driver CPC around your schedule. Take a 3.5-hour session for £32.50 when you can only spare half a day, or a full 7-hour day for £60 when you want to bank a big chunk at once. Chip away year by year or clear the lot in a week — whatever suits you.
