We received an update from DVSA on the reforms for the Driver CPC today. The email said; " The reforms include: * introducing a National Driver CPC that will cover driving a lorry, bus or coach in the UK * allowing training courses to be done in blocks of 3.5 hours rather than the current 7 hours to allow greater flexibility * decoupling e-learning from trainer led courses * speeding up the process for drivers whose Driver CPC has run out to return to driving a lorry of bus coach in the UK. This work is still ongoing; these changes aim to be introduced in late 2024 or early 2025 Introducing a periodic test The results from the 2023 consultation on introduction of a test were mixed. We will continue to keep under review the possibility of the introduction of a test." So, not much more than we knew already. But perhaps this might mean we're moving forward on the changes slowly.

New Change’s to drivers CPC given the Green Light On Tuesday 29th October the government, made changes to the driver’s certificate of professional competence (DCPC) training requirements. The amendments included a cut to the minimum length of the training modules from seven to 3.5 hours. However, the length of the entire course remains unchanged at 35 hours. Other changes include the decoupling of e-learning from trainer-led courses and moves to encourage more flexibility in end of module assessments, as well as the introduction of an accelerated pathway for returning drivers. The changes can be found on the link : https://lnkd.in/e7-H8p3A This is a good thing for the driving industry as drivers now have more flexibility

Good morning, I’ve been reflecting on the current landscape of Driver CPC training and wanted to share my concerns about the impact of cheap courses on the quality of education. Some providers offer courses for as little as £20. When you account for the £8.75 DVSA upload fee, that leaves very little to pay the trainer or cover the costs of running a training centre. Consider the significant investment required to: Set up and maintain a training centre. Research, prepare, and write relevant, up-to-date courses. Ensure trainers are qualified, knowledgeable, and adequately compensated. It makes me question whether some of these courses are simply outdated materials being recycled, rather than delivering current and meaningful content to drivers. Driver CPC isn’t just a box-ticking exercise—it’s about ensuring professional drivers are equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to stay safe and compliant on the roads. Cutting corners on training compromises this mission. As professionals in the industry, we should be advocating for quality over cost and recognizing the value of investing in proper training. What are your thoughts on this? #drivercpc #trainingpays #roadsafety #notaboxtickingexercise

What do you think about the recent changes to the Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (DCPC)? Given the green light in Parliament at the end of October, I think it’s a change that will make the roads much safer for drivers. The changes include reducing the minimum length of the training modules from seven to 3.5 hours. But, without changing the total course time of 35 hours. It will also separate e-learning from trainer-led courses to offer more flexibility. It will also help drivers who are not comfortable with e-learning as they’ll still have access to trainer-led courses. The change I’m most happy to see is an accelerated learning path for returning drivers. Removing the barriers for skilled drivers getting back into the industry can only be a good thing! How do you think these changes will affect the logistics industry? #Logistics #Transport

are teens receiving effective driver education? a simple measurement of success is ZERO crash injury rates post licence or training. Does your driver training organisation have a pedagogically aligned, competency based education and training CBET curriculum? Does your driver training organisation follow up with clients after successfully completing the training & or passing the test, measuring crash/injury rates? should there be a standardised curriculum for driver training?
