Training
We understand the importance of training within any company. This is why we invest so much time and money into training and developing our drivers; from newly qualified PCV licence holders to existing experienced licence holders that need refresher courses.
In 2006, we appointed Darrell Minett as our Training Manager to oversee the training and development of our staff, specifically our drivers.
We are committed to continually improving the standard of our drivers professional capabilities in order to provide superb coach hire solutions for our customers. All our drivers are periodically assessed, to ensure we all work to a high standard and understand the importance of the legalities within the driving profession.
We provide nationally recognised qualifications to our own drivers but also to other organisations. Operators will improve their business by investing in their drivers training and development.
We provide the following courses
DRIVERS CPC
The Driver CPC is for LGV and PCV drivers who drive professionally throughout the UK. It has been developed as a requirement of the EU Directive 2003/59, which is designed to improve the knowledge and skills of professional LGV and PCV drivers throughout their working life. There are two parts to the legislation:
- The Initial Qualification that must be achieved by new LGV and PCV drivers along with their vocational licence to enable them to use their licence professionally.
- Periodic Training, which involves all professional drivers undertaking 35 hours of training every 5 years . Click here to download an information leaflet
- What is periodic training?
- What is Periodic Training?
Periodic training is continuing professional developement for bus, coach and lorry drivers. It carries on throughout the professional drivers career, no matter how infrequently they may drive.
- How much training is required?
All drivers must under take 35 hours of training in every 5 year period. The minimum length of a training course that contributes to the Periodic Training requirements is seven hours.
- How is it delivered?
Courses and training centres must be approved by JAUPT on behalf of the competent Authority for the delivery of Periodic Training. The content, title and method of delivery of each training course are looked at during the approval process.
A course is a coherant programme of learning of at least 7 hours. The seven hours excludes any breaks; only direct training and contact time (time with your trainer) count towards the Periodic Training requirement. Periodic Training is designed to improve the knowledge of the driver and it could include courses in subjects such as Disability Awareness, Tachograph Regulations and Safe and Fuel Efficient Driving. There are no tests or exams involved but training centres will be required to evaluate each course to ensure that those attending have benefited from the training that they have received.
- Who is Affected by the requirements for periodic training?
- An individual's circumstances will determine how they acquire the Driver CPC
New drivers acquiring a PCV vocational entitlement (D1, D1+E, D, D+E licence) after the 10th September 2008 and/or an LGV vocational entitlement (C1, C1+E,C or C+E licence) after the 10th September 2009 will have to obtain the initial Driver CPC in addition to their licence to drive professionally.
Existing drivers who already hold a vocational licence on the 10th September 2008 (PCV) or the 10th September 2009 (LGV) are exempt from the initial Driver CPC. This is known as "acquired rights".
Both new and existing drivers must complete a total of 35 hours Periodic Training within the 5 years following their ‘acquired rights’ or initial Driver CPC to keep their Driver CPC valid. This is only required if the driver is using their licence professionally. PCV drivers exempt from the Driver CPC via acquired rights will have to complete their periodic training by September 2013 and LGV Drivers exempt from the Driver CPC via acquired rights will have to complete their Periodic Driver CPC by September 2014.
New drivers who undertake a National Vocational Training programme are able to split their licence acquisition and initial Driver CPC acquisition by up to one year whilst still being able to drive professionally. If the initial Driver CPC acquisition is delayed, the driver would have to return to the DSA test centre within one year in order to complete it and carry on driving professionally. An example of a National Vocational Training programme would be an Apprenticeship in Driving Goods Vehicles. Drivers intending to use this concession will have to register with the Driving Standards Agency.
- Exemption
There are a number of Driver CPC exemptions associated with the Directive. These are listed below:
- Vehicles with a maximum speed not exceeding 45 kph
- Vehicles used by the armed forces, civil defence, and emergency services
- Vehicles undergoing road tests for technical development, repair or maintenance
- Vehicles used in states of emergency
- Vehicles used in the course of driving lessons or examinations
- Vehicles used for non-commercial carriage of passenger or goods – for personal use
- Vehicles used for carrying material of equipment to be used by the driver in the course of his or her work, providing that driving the vehicles is not the drivers’ principle activity
Ultimately, it is up to the driver and their employer to decide if they are covered by these exemptions, and if necessary, justify it to the competent authority.
