Driver CPC Modules

Enhancing skills, ensuring safety

SJP Driver Training specialises in training people to drive HGVs and large vehicles. We have developed effective, class leading courses that give you the best chance to pass first time. No gimmicks, no hidden pricing, just high-quality training with experienced NRI (National Register of Instructors) instructors who care passionately about you passing.

CPC stands for ‘Certificate of Professional Competence’, and it is required for professional drivers of lorries, buses, and coaches. Drivers can be fined up to £1,000 for operating a vehicle without Driver CPC. A Driver CPC lasts for five years.

Why choose our Driver CPC courses?

Reduced costs and improved efficiency: Proper training can significantly reduce fuel consumption, lower insurance premiums, and decrease maintenance costs by encouraging safe and efficient driving habits.

Enhanced safety: Our course teaches advanced driving techniques and accident avoidance measures, greatly reducing the risk of road incidents and enhancing the safety of your drivers and fleet vehicles.

Compliance with regulations: Stay compliant with the latest road safety regulations. Our training covers legal responsibilities and the newest standards in fleet driving.

Customisable content: We tailor the training modules to suit your specific business needs and goals, ensuring relevance and maximum impact.

Course details

If you drive a lorry, bus, or coach as the main part of your job, you must have a Driver CPC – it’s illegal to operate one of these vehicles commercially if you do not possess this qualification.

As a Driver CPC only lasts for five years, it must be renewed if you wish to continue driving a lorry, bus or coach. You must undergo 35 hours of training before your current Driver CPC expires: see details on the UK government website Driver CPC page. You only need to complete one set of training every five years if you drive both lorries and buses professionally – if you drive a lorry for personal use CPC training is not necessary.

Course duration: The course duration varies depending on the specific needs of your business, typically ranging from one-day workshops to comprehensive week-long courses.

Training modules include:

  • Defensive driving techniques
  • Fuel efficiency practices
  • Navigation and route planning
  • Vehicle maintenance checks
  • Health and safety compliance
  • Emergency response handling
  • Legal compliance and documentation

Delivery method: Training can be conducted at our fully equipped facility, or at your premises for added convenience. We also offer virtual training sessions via interactive webinars.

Instructor profile: All training is delivered by experienced, NRI certified instructors with extensive knowledge in fleet management and driving safety.
