Initial CPC: If you passed your car driving test after January 1997, you will have to pass the initial CPC test to get the certificate.
It’s a two-tier test consisting of one theory and one practical module. At Billy Thomas HGV Driver Training, we can arrange for both.
We can also provide you with appropriate training, to assist you in passing the tests at the first go.
Once you have passed both tests, the DVSA will send you a CPC card.
Periodic CPC: If you acquired your driver’s licence before January 1997, you will already hold the traditional “Grandfather Rights” and have a C1 (7.5T licence).
You will only need to pass the periodic CPC test, which is a classroom-based test. A day’s course is 7 hours and after each day, an upload is completed with the DVSA.
After completing 35 hours, the DVSA will send you the CPC card.
