They must then attend 35 hours of Driver CPC periodic training every five years to maintain this qualification. When a driver attends Driver CPC periodic training , you must ensure that they hold the correct category of licence and a current or expired Driver CPC qualification if they want the training to be uploaded and count towards a future Driver Qualification Card (DQC) .  \nWho has ‘acquired rights’?  \nDrivers have ‘acquired rights’ if they are a –  \n• Lorry driver and had a vocational licence (C, C1, C+E and C1+E) before 10th September 2009 or have C1 due to passing their car (B) test in the UK before 1997.  \n• Bus or coach driver and had a vocational licence (D, D1, D+E and D1+E) before 10th  \nSeptember 2008 including restricted vocational licence D(101) issued after 1991 and D1(101) issued before 1997  \nThese drivers will get their first Driver Qualification Card (DQC) after doing 35 hours of Driver CPC periodic training or completing modules 2 and 4 of the Initial Qualification tests.  \nDrivers who held D1(101) or D(101) only, must apply in writing to the DVSA to have their Bus‘acquired rights’ manually added to their records.  \nInitial Qualification  \nNew drivers have to complete the initial qualification before driving professionally. New drivers are those who gained their vocational category on or after the Driver CPC implementation dates of Driver CPC:  \n• 10th September 2008 – Bus and coach  \n• 10th September 2009 – Lorry  \nThe Driver CPC initial qualification consists of four tests. Professional drivers must pass the module two and module 4 tests to gain their Driver CPC qualification , in addition to the module one and module 3 tests that are taken to acquire a driving licence.  \n\n| Module |  | Approx Duration | Licence Acquisition | Driver CPC |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1 | Theory Test\u003Cbr>Multiple Choice questions & Hazard Perception clips | 2.5 hrs | Yes |  |\n| 2 | CPC Case Studies Theory Test | 1.5 hrs |  | Yes |\n| 3 | Practical Test | 1.5 hrs | Yes |  |\n| 4 | Driver CPC Practical Test\u003Cbr>Vehicle Safety Demonstration | 0.5 hrs |  | Yes |\n\nHow does a driver evidence they have completed the Initial Qualification?  \nUpon completion of the initial qualification the driver will be issued with a DQC as evidence of their Driver CPC qualification. If a driver has not yet received their DQC because they completed the initial qualification recently, trainers should take reasonable steps to assure themselves that the driver has passed all four modules and can therefore have periodic training uploaded to their record.  \nPeriodic Training-Attendance  \nHow do EU/EEA countries and Switzerland evidence Driver CPC?  \nIf a driver has completed the initial qualification or undertaken 35 hours of periodic training in an EU/EEA country or in Switzerland , they will be able to evidence this with either a DQC, or a code‘95’ on their driving licence, depending on their country of origin (see below for the de","cbCaiquE6C28BbTJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiquE6C28BbTJ","pdf",1608912,34,"English","# Attendance for periodic training\n## What advice should be given to attendees?\n## Online Driver Enquiries (ODE)\n## Driver Qualification Card (DQC)\n## Recording periodic training\n## Recording training against non-GB driving licences\n## Government Gateway – Registration & service enrolment\n## Manage users\n## Forgotten user ID or password\n## CPC R&E System-How to upload training\n## Partially completed courses\n## How to pay the upload fee\n## View training centre history\n## Meaning of training status\n## Upload errors / Cancellation requests / Late uploads\n## Drivers exchanging to a GB licence after upload\n## Useful contacts","[{\"question\":\"Who must attend Driver CPC periodic training, and how often?\",\"answer\":\"Professional large vehicle drivers must obtain the Driver CPC qualification, then attend 35 hours of periodic training every five years to maintain it.\"},{\"question\":\"What are 'acquired rights' for bus and lorry drivers?\",\"answer\":\"Drivers can have acquired rights based on holding specific vocational licence categories before the stated September 2008/2009 dates, including certain restricted licence types.\"},{\"question\":\"How can a driver evidence Driver CPC completion in EU/EEA countries and Switzerland?\",\"answer\":\"Evidence can be provided with a DQC or a Code 95 on the driving licence, depending on the driver’s country of origin; trainers may request guidance on claiming Driver CPC in the country where the initial qualification was completed.\"}]","a-guide-to-recording-driver-cpc-periodic-training-dec-2020 | PDF",1790304236,86]
