Training Courses

In November 2024, the government announced changes to Driver CPC requirements, which are now in effect.

We are proud to be among the first to offer training to meet the new National and International Driver CPC rules.

Drivers can complete their required 35 hours of training in smaller 3.5 hour sessions, instead of the previous minimum of 7 hour blocks. The total still needs to add up to 35 hours.

There will also be a new fast track Return to Work option available for those whose Driver CPC (DQC) has expired. This will take effect from 1st February 2025.
