Your Driver Qualification Card
When you pass CPC Module 4, or complete 35 hours of periodic training, you receive a Driver Qualification Card. It shows your photo, the categories it covers and an expiry date five years ahead. You must carry it whenever you drive a lorry, bus or coach professionally.
Roadside checks
DVSA officers and the police can ask to see your card at the roadside. Driving professionally without a valid card – or without carrying it – can lead to a fine. Employers will also ask to see it, and many keep a copy.
Your periodic training record is held online too, so you can show employers how many hours you have completed.
How this fits with other licences
Our courses cover the lorry side – HGV/LGV training – and the passenger side: PCV training for minibus, bus and coach work, where a passenger carrying vehicle licence is needed. Professional drivers also complete Driver CPC, including the CPC Module 2 case studies and the CPC Module 4 practical demonstration.
