Approved centres only
Periodic Driver CPC training only counts if it is delivered by an approved centre on an approved course. Centres upload your attendance to the DVSA record afterwards, which is how your hours are counted.
Choosing a provider
- Ask for the centre and course approval details
- Check the course content matches your lorry, bus or coach work
- Ask how soon your hours will be uploaded
- Look for trainers with real driving experience
Online and classroom courses
Rules on online learning have been reviewed in recent years, so check the current position on GOV.UK. Most courses still include classroom or practical time.
