The Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) has become a legal requirement for everyone operating a HGV or an LGV vehicle over 3.5 tonnes from September 2009.
Drivers must undertake 35 hours of training every five years in order to meet the CPC requirement. The training must consist of approved courses and Ciceley Commercials are proud to be able to offer these courses delivered by Mercedes-Benz expert trainers.
CPC Driver Training is a service suitable for all, no matter what vehicle you drive. So, whether you are a driver or a fleet manager, our team can offer the assistance and expertise to help you meet the requirements of this new legislation.
