Driver CPC reforms to come into force on 3 December 2024
Following a debate in Parliament the date for the reforms to Driver CPC to come into law has been confirmed as Tuesday 3 December.
The reforms coming into force on this date are:
- 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
The measure to speed up the process for drivers to return to driving a lorry, bus or coach in the UK if their Driver CPC has expired will come into force on 1 February 2025.
