Driver CPC
Periodic training for professional drivers, explained without a course code, a date or an approval number. Driver CPC is not a vehicle category.
What Driver CPC is
Driver CPC is the professional qualification for people who drive lorries or buses for a living. It is not a vehicle category. Category C and Category C+E are the licence entitlements. Driver CPC sits alongside that work for drivers who need a Driver Qualification Card.
The vehicle entitlements are Category C andCategory C+E.
Who needs it
Professional lorry and bus drivers. Some types of work are exempt, and that depends on the job rather than on a rule this page can apply for you. Ask the provider, or check current official guidance, before you book.
Initial and periodic CPC
Two different stages. Only one of them is listed as an offered course below.
Initial
New professional drivers
Initial CPC is the qualification a new professional driver takes when moving into vocational driving. It is explained here so the difference is clear.
Periodic
Drivers who already hold a card
Periodic CPC is ongoing training for a driver who already holds a Driver Qualification Card, so the card can stay valid. It is widely described as 35 hours across five years. Rules are updated, so a driver should check current official guidance for their own card. This site does not calculate anyone’s hours.
