CPC Driver Training in Essex is provided by Keep Legal at its dedicated training facility in South Ockendon
The Driver CPC (Certificate of Professional Competence) training carried out by Keep Legal at its CPC driver training facility in Essex is tailored for skilled drivers of passenger carrying vehicles (PCV) and large goods vehicles (LGV/HGV/ADR) who conduct and drive through routes across the UK, including towns within Essex such as Chelmsford, Colchester, Southend-on-Sea, Barking & Dagenham, Romford, Rainham, Upminster, Thurrock, and others.
CPC stipulates that all professional drivers must complete 35 hours of CPC Periodic Training every five years.
For committed professional PCV, LGV, ADR and HGV drivers, including those operating across the Essex region and further afield across the UK, attending CPC training is a fundamental prerequisite for obtaining a Driver Qualification Card (DQC). This card is a vital credential for individuals aspiring to ply their trade across the UK.
The DQC shows that a driver has undertaken practical skills and theory based training to understand the safety implications of driving any type of LGV vehicle.
This training also shows potential employers that you are a serious driving professional.
