Tomorrow (3 December) Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) will update the Driver CPC to make it more flexible. Current drivers will have two options to stay qualified: - Take 35 hours of International Driver CPC training every five years to be able to drive in the UK and EU. This is basically, the no change option with IDCPC remaining the same. - Take 35 hours of National Driver CPC (or a combination of 35 hours of National and International CPC training) every five years to be able to drive in the UK. NDCPC will provide flexibility within delivery with 3.5 hour courses and options for e-learning. The “Return to Driving” option will allow drivers with lapsed DCPC’s to start driving again without having to complete all 35 hours straight away. Instead, they will be able to complete a new seven-hour ‘return to driving’ module. They will still need to complete the further 28 hours of NDCPC or IDCPC within 12 months of the module.

The previously announced changes for drivers CPC come into force from today, which will allow drivers who wish to continue with a only National Driver CPC (for both LGV and PSV) to carry out their training in blocks of 3.5 hours at any time, rather than the previous 7 hours, allowing them greater flexibility. It will also de-couple E-learning from trainer led courses, with up to 12 hours of E-learning allowed. This only applies to National drivers - for drivers wishing to continue to driver internationally, the process remains the same. There are also changes for those wishing to return to professional driving if their DCPC has expired.
