Driver CPC Training FAQs

How often do I need to complete Driver CPC training?

To keep your Driver CPC to drive a lorry, bus or coach, you must complete 35 hours of periodic training every five years.

When does my Driver CPC run out?

The current 5-year cycle ends on the 9th of September 2023 for PCV and the 9th of September 2024 for LGV. If you completed your 35 hours of training in your 5-year period, your CPC would be valid until this date. You can check the training hours you have completed through the government website.

What happens if I do not complete my 35 hours of training?

If you do not complete your 35 hours of CPC training, you will not be able to drive professionally. Driving professionally without Driver CPC can incur fines of up to £1000.
