How long does it last?

Each CPC course lasts 7 hours.

Drivers must complete 35 hours of approved Driver CPC training every 5 years to stay legally compliant.

DVSA guidance states:

“To keep your Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) you must do 35 hours of periodic training every 5 years.”

DVSA also states:

“You can only take the same course more than once in each 5-year period if you have a good reason to repeat it… If you do not have a good reason, DVSA can cancel the hours you got from the course.”

In simple terms, drivers must complete five different 7-hour courses within each 5-year cycle.

By the end of the course, you’ll have:

  • Up-to-date knowledge of transport law and best practice
  • Improved safety awareness
