Periodic CPC Training
Experienced LGV Drivers
From 10th September 2009 all commercial LGV drivers will need to complete 35 hours of training before 9th September 2014.
The 35 hours can be split into 1 day sessions lasting 7 hours each.
WE CURRENTLY HAVE THE FOLLOWING FOUR ACCREDITED COURSES AVAILABLE:
- ADR (Dangerous Goods) This can count for 21 hours.
- Health & Safety
- Driving Techniques
- Traffic Legislation
If you hold both PCV and LGV Licences your Periodic Training will cover both categories, so if you complete 35 hours of LGV Periodic Training you do not have to complete another 35 hours for the PCV.
Each 7 hour module is registered to your driver licence number, we deliver courses Mon-Sat to suit you. Call for dates and prices !
Exemptions
There are exemptions from the Driver CPC qualification, these are as follows:
- used for the non-commercial carriage of passengers or goods, for personal use.
- undergoing road tests for technical development, repair or maintenance
purposes, or new or rebuilt vehicles not yet put into service - used in the course of driving lessons for any person wishing to obtain a driving licence or Driver CPC
- carrying material or equipment to be used by the driver in the course of his or her work, provided that driving the vehicle does not constitute the driver’s principal activity with a maximum authorised speed not exceeding 45km/h
- used by, or under the control of, the armed forces, civil defence, the fire service, and forces responsible for maintaining public order.
- used in states of emergency or assigned to rescue missions.
Ultimately, it is up to the driver and their employer to decide if they are covered by these exemptions, and if necessary, justify it to the competent authority. Therefore JAUPT would strongly advise that if a driver believes they are exempt from the Driver CPC that they should seek independent legal advice.
