On the 10th September 2009 a new EU Directive (2003/59 EC) came into force for all professional LGV drivers.
This directive is now known as Driver CPC and will require existing LGV licence holders who drive professionally to complete 35 hours of accredited training every 5 years. New LGV drivers that wish to drive professionally will now have to complete the four modules that make up the initial qualification.
The Government has appointed the DSA as the competent body to oversee the implementation of this directive and the Joint Approvals Unit for Periodic Training (JAUPT) was formed to control the accreditation of training providers, training centres and training courses.
We are currently delivering a JAUPT approved course entitled Driver Essentials. This course is seven hours and covers EU Driver Hours Regulations, Working Time Directive, Digital Tachograph and Daily Walk round checks.
We are now running a seven hour Periodic Training session on the last Saturday of each month. Prices start from £85 per person which includes lunch and upload fees per person. Clients that require in-house Periodic Training can arrange for our JAUPT approved instructor to carry out training for upto 10 people at their premises.
