Course Overview:

This Driver CPC module combines two essential topics for professional drivers: understanding the Operator Licence (O-licence) system and maintaining driver welfare on and off the road.

It’s designed to give drivers a clear picture of how their actions affect the company’s licence — and their own job security. At the same time, it highlights the importance of personal wellbeing, showing drivers how to manage the physical and mental demands of the role.

Delivered in a straightforward, relatable format, this course helps drivers become more informed, more resilient, and more valuable to their operators.
