Driver CPC Day 5 – Contract of Carriage and the Transport Industry
What is Driver CPC?

The Driver CPC is a scheme for LGV and PSV drivers who drive professionally in the UK. It has been developed to meet the requirements of the EU Directive 2003/59, which is designed to improve the knowledge and skills of professional LGV and PSV drivers throughout their working life. All drivers, new and existing, will then have to undertake 35 hours of training every five years to ensure that their Driver CPC is current. This is known as Periodic Training.

Course Description

This day is aimed at teaching the driver different types of contract of carriage and the future of the transport industry. As a bonus we have decided to include a basic manual handling section for drivers.
