Course Overview:

This Driver CPC module focuses on Vehicle Safety and Roadworthiness, giving drivers the knowledge and confidence to carry out daily walkaround checks, identify potential defects, and help keep vehicles safe and legal.

Vehicle safety isn’t just a responsibility — it’s also a way for drivers to protect their licence, avoid fines, and reduce downtime. A simple missed defect could lead to prohibition notices, lost work, or even court action. This course shows drivers how to prevent that — with clear, practical guidance that goes beyond ticking boxes.

It also explains the wider impact of vehicle condition on company reputation, operator licence compliance, and road safety for all users.
