Driver CPC Day 2 – Vehicle Defect Reporting and SAFED Theory

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 good principles of safe and fuel-efficient driving, through videos and interactive discussions. This information to a driver will radically improve their attitude to their driving style. It will also cover good practices of vehicle defect reporting and the outcomes of poor vehicle maintenance.

Who Should Attend

Driver CPC is designed for all commercial drivers, holding a category C, C1, C+E or C1+E licence before 10 September 2009

Course Content

During the morning candidates will cover the importance and fundamentals of vehicle defect reporting, moving onto vehicle height, weight, length specifications including special category vehicles. In the afternoon each candidate will learn the theory of safe and fuel-efficient driving, through videos and case studies. At the end of the day candidates will have the opportunity to leave feedback about the course and will be presented with their certificate of attendance.

Assessment & Award

During the daily courses to measure performance and teaching the candidates will take a course quiz. There is no requirement to pass or to achieve a certain level. The only requirement is to complete 35 hours training.

A Polite Notice

It pays to be selective when booking training courses because not all training providers are what they appear to be. When booking a Drivers CPC Course you need to feel assured that your training provider is fully accredited to provide that training and is not then going to sub-contract the work. Lighthouse Safety Training are fully accredited by JAUPT  to provide the Drivers CPC and proof of that accreditation can be seen at our accreditation page.
