Driver CPC (Certificate of Professional Competence) is a legal requirement for most professional HGV (over 3.5 t) and PCV (9+ seats) driving. If you drive for work, you’ll usually need valid Driver CPC in addition to your licence.

• Initial CPC: for new drivers. On passing the tests, you receive a DQC (Driver Qualification Card) valid for 5 years.
• Periodic CPC: every 5 years, complete 35 hours of approved training to keep driving professionally.

International CPC requires all periodic hours to be in full 7-hour modules. If you include any 3.5-hour modules, your status becomes National (UK-only).

• 7-hour modules (International-compliant): drivers’ hours & tachographs, safe loading, vehicle safety, road risk, fuel-efficient driving, etc.
• 3.5-hour modules (National): flexible short sessions that count toward National CPC only.

Use the official government service with your driving licence details to view completed periodic hours and your card status. Keep your DQC with you when driving professionally.

It’s an offence. Expect enforcement action and possible fines; operators may face Traffic Commissioner scrutiny.

Qualified Transport Managers and those responsible for licence undertakings should refresh regularly (commonly at least every 5 years) to evidence current knowledge and maintain compliance.
