Raising the standard of Driver CPC periodic training

Periodic training should be informative and engaging and should help improve your skills as a professional driver. 

We take reports of poor quality periodic training very seriously and we'll investigate if we hear about bad practice.

What Driver CPC training should cover

As a quick reminder, your training should be:

  • at least 7 hours in length, roughly once a year
  • in line with the Driver CPC syllabus and up to date with best practice guidelines
  • delivered by a knowledgeable trainer 
  • engaging and informative

If you, or a member of your staff, had periodic training that you thought was poor quality or didn’t meet the legal requirements, please let us know by emailing  DCPC_CC@dvsa.gov.uk. 

You'll need to let us know:

  • the date of the training 
  • who the training provider was
  • the name of the course you attended
  • what the problem with the training was
