  • 35 hours of periodic training every 5 years must also be attended by the professional drivers across UK.

    • The periodic training is meant for continuation of the professional development of the lorry drivers and carries on for the entire professional career of the driver.

    There are four modules of Driver CPC of which the two are same as the tests that you must take for obtaining the license for LGV. The four modules are:
