The Driving Standards Agency is taking the lead in implementing EU Directive 2003/59 which requires all professional bus, coach and lorry drivers to hold a CPC in addition to their vocational driving licence. It comes into force across all European Union member states on 10 September 2008 for bus and coach drivers and 10 September 2009 for lorry drivers. The main benefit is road safety and better qualified drivers to help reduce road casualties. Driver CPC should also bring an improved professional and positive image to the profession, attracting more people to drive buses, coaches and lorries for a living. It is aimed not only at improving the knowledge and skills of LGV and PCV drivers when they start work, but also at ensuring these skills are maintained and developed throughout their working life. Driver CPC will require all category C and D licence holders (including C1 and D1) to take part in 35 hours training every 5 years in order to maintain their CPC.

It also introduces a new initial qualification process that new drivers must complete before they can drive professionally. Driver CPC will enable young people to enter these sectors in a safe and professional manner, from 18 years of age, subject to any licence restrictions for category D drivers. New drivers acquiring a vocational licence entitlement after the relevant implementation dates (Sept 08 or Sept 09) and intending to work as a driver must obtain a Driver CPC before they can drive professionally. To minimise cost and inconvenience, the DSA will offer new drivers the opportunity to acquire the Driver CPC at the same time as they obtain their vocational driving licence. Driver CPC will be acquired by completing 4 hours of theory testing and 2 hours of practical tests. The tests can be taken in modules that will support drivers who may be exempt from Driver CPC, or who were exempt and now need their CPC. The modules will be:.

• To successfully obtain the initial driver CPC the driver of a large goods vehicle must pass the module 2 case studies test, this, along with completion of the module 4 practical demonstration will allow an individual to work as a professional lorry driver. The module 2 case studies test involves a series of questions which are.

Upgrade to CPC. Modules 1 and 2 can be taken in any order, as can modules 3 and 4. Candidates must complete module 1 before they can take module 3 and must complete module 2 before they can take module 4.

All professional vocational drivers must undertake periodic training in order to maintain their Driver CPC. Drivers will have to complete a minimum of 35 hours of approved training every 5 years. Each training course must be of a minimum length of 7 hours, with the 7 hours being defined as contact time with the trainer. Each training course must be delivered within a 24 hours period.

All training must be taken with an approved training centre and on an approved training course. Records of training taken by drivers will be kept centrally. All approved training centres and training courses will be subject to audit and approval may be withdrawn if it is found that centres or courses are not complying with the approval criteria.

Drivers who are deemed to hold Driver CPC by acquired rights must complete their periodic training within 5 years of the introduction of Driver CPC:. for PCV licence holders, by 10 Sept 2013. for LGV licence holders, by 10 Sept 2014 Drivers who gain their Driver CPC by completing the initial qualification must complete their first cycle of periodic training within 5 years of the date they acquired their Driver CPC. Drivers who do not maintain their Driver CPC, i.e.

Because they leave the industries, but who want to start working as a professional driver again, must complete 35 hours of periodic training in order to regain their Driver CPC. They must complete the training before they can resume working professionally. Drivers holding both lorry and bus and coach licence entitlement will only be required to complete 35 hours of approved training every 5 years. Module 1 Theory Test This module will be taken by candidates who want to acquire either a vocational licence only or a vocational licence and Driver CPC. It is based on the current licence acquisition theory test.

From April 2008, it will consist of 100 multiple choice questions and 20 hazard perception clips. Candidates will be allowed 2½ hours to complete this module. Transition arrangements will be put in place to phase in the increase of questions from 35 to 100 questions.

From April 2007, the number of multiple choice questions will be 60, and the passmark will be 51. From April 2008, the number of MCQ’s will increase to 100 and the passmark will be 85. The number of hazard perception clips will remain at 14 in April 2007 but will increase in April 2008, details of which will be provided in the near future. Module 2 Theory Test This module is to be taken only by candidates who want to acquire Driver CPC.

It will consist of about 3 case studies, which are currently being developed. More details will be provided, including examples of case studies, as the development work progresses. Candidates will be allowed 1½ hours to complete this module.

Module 2 will be introduced in 2008 for PCV candidates and 2009 for LGV candidates. Further information, in terms of how case studies will look, be scored and the pass mark will be provided once they have been developed.

Module 3 Practical Test This module is to be taken by candidates who want to acquire either a vocational licence only or a vocational licence and Driver CPC. It will consist of the current licence acquisition test, with an additional 10 minutes on-road time for categories D1, D, C1 &C.

A summary of the test plan, showing in which modules the various parts of the syllabus will be tested for the initial qualification. Section Reference: Driver CPC Module 1 M2 M3 M4 Remarks 1 Advanced training in rational driving based on safety regulations All Licences 1.1 Objective: to know the charactaristics of the transmission system in order to make the best possible use of it Several transmission boxes to learn theoretical difficulty task eg automated gearbox.

Passenger versus timber loading. Periodic training will provide the latter. Loading for different vehicle Periodic training will provide the latter. Loading for different vehicle types is a significant issue here. Licences D, D+E, D1, D1+E 1.5 Objective: ability to ensure passenger comfort and safety: Significant issue particularly for bus and coach operators.
