Driver CPC Courses
Whether you need to complete the Module 2 & 4 CPC or update you 35 hour periodic training, we have courses running daily.
Why do I need the Driver CPC?
Back in September 2009, the Government passed the Driver CPC legislation to ensure that all professional Drivers would be subject to the same ongoing requirement for retraining. Since then, the Driver CPC has been keeping HGV Drivers’ skills at the high level required by the role through ongoing ‘Periodic’ training on a range of subjects which are relevant to the life of a professional HGV Driver.
Some Drivers are not affected by the Driver CPC legislation; these include people who drive for emergency services (e.g. ambulance driver), the military, people who drive in the course of other duties (e.g. scaffolders) and people using vehicles purely for personal use (e.g horsebox owners moving their own horses.) Safe to say, most people DO fall under these rules, so if you think you’re exempt for any reason you should seek advice before driving.
What is the Driver CPC?
​
“What is CPC?” is one of our most frequently asked questions. Here, we explain what Driver CPC courses are, why you need CPC training, what is involved and whether you need Initial or Periodic Driver CPC training. Our aim is to help you navigate through the sometimes complicated process of becoming a professional HGV driver. If you’d prefer to discuss your CPC driver training questions, please call us now; we’d be more than happy to talk it through.
Module 2 CPC - Theory Test
You’ll be asked some vehicle safety questions on the day of your lorry test. This will normally consist of 4 - 5 show me / tell me questions before heading out on the road.
During your training time we will walk you around all these questions so you are fully prepared on the day.
Module 4 Practical Demonstration & Test
This may seem like a long way off right now but the more knowledge we can give you to prepare the better.
Your driving test will last around 1 hour, on the road you will cover various conditions of driving from country lanes, town centre to dual carriage ways.
You will also conduct around 4 to 5 pull up on the left hand side of the road when safe todo so this will also include uphill, down hill, starts.
You will also conduct a 10 minute independent drive during the test following road signs.
Ambulance Driver Training across Sussex & Surrey
Ambulance, 7.5ton, Horsebox courses. I Drive Driver Training uses a 5.5ton van similar to an ambulance to complete the training. Our instructors will help you improve your skills on the road, as well as prepare you for your onwards driving career.
We now also have our own inhouse reverse area, so the part 3.a reverse manoeuvre will be conducted on site without the need to travel to the test centre, making it more comfortable for the student and reducing the time spent on the reverse meaning more time on the road.
