Cardinus to run CPC driver training course

A Cardinus product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Sep 9, 2009

Cardinus will hold Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) training from September, to show how to keep fuel costs down and cut accident rates and repair/maintenance costs.

The training also includes familiarisation with modern technology, such as the operation of new digital tachographs, understanding the latest legislation and how to avoid low-speed collisions.

Marcus Noble, managing director of Cardinus Risk Management, said: 'While road safety and better qualified drivers will help reduce road casualties, Driver CPC training should also bring an improved professional and positive image to the profession, attracting more people that want to drive professionally.' Driver CPC requires all category C and D licence holders (including C1 and D1) to take part in 35 hours of training every five years to maintain their CPC qualification.

Periodic driver training, as it is known, is designed to confirm and expand the existing knowledge and skills of each driver to ensure that they continue to be safe, courteous and fuel-efficient drivers.

Only courses that have been recognised and delivered by a training organisation approved by the Joint Approvals Unit for Periodic Training (JAUPT) will count towards the periodic training requirement of 35 hours.

Noble added: 'Cardinus Risk Management is JAUPT approved to offer Driver CPC training and we will be holding day-long seven-hour courses at a variety of locations around the UK from September onwards, at a cost of GBP85 per head.

'These will allow drivers to fulfil their training requirements over one day per year and will keep disruption to businesses to an absolute minimum.'.
