A learner driver sitting in a training lorry cab with a pass certificate – I hold both PCV and lorry licences – do I need two sets of periodic training?

How one set covers both

The Driver CPC is a single qualification. Whether you drive lorries, buses, coaches or minibuses – or all of them – 35 hours every five years keeps your one Driver Qualification Card valid for every category you hold.

Choosing courses for mixed work

If you drive both goods and passenger vehicles, pick a mix: a loading or drivers' hours course for lorry work and a passenger safety or disability awareness course for PCV work. Shared topics like first aid and fuel-efficient driving help in both.

Lorry, bus, coach and minibus routes

Two families of licence sit side by side here: goods vehicles (HGV/LGV training) and passenger carrying vehicles (PCV training – minibus, bus and coach). Both lead to the same professional step, Driver CPC, with its CPC Module 2 and CPC Module 4 tests.
