By then they will have had five years in which to clock up 35 hours of training in order to earn their driver’s CPC (Certificate of Professional Competence). Less than a week’s training in five years does not sound too onerous but progress hitherto is so poor Trade Associations were moved to issue a stark warning.  \nAssuming that drivers should have seven hours of training in each of the five years, the FTA calculated that training was being delivered at only half that rate.“…..we predict there could be as much as a 30% shortfall in the number of legally qualified drivers of heavy goods vehicles before 2014,” warned the FTA.  \nThere are two crucial messages to be drawn from the FTA’s warning. First, the industry is clearly not acting quickly enough. Second, the consequences of failing to meet the deadline are serious.  \nThere is no honeymoon period. Drivers that have not completed the requisite 35 hours of training by 10 September 2014 will be unlicensed and will be taken off the road if they are stopped by the authorities. The trucks they were driving will only be released to drivers who can show both the appropriate licence and their driver’s CPC card. Both operator and driver will be liable for prosecution for using the vehicle without a valid licence, and insurance cover may be invalidated too.  \nThis is a ticking time-bomb. Traffic Commissioners are already questioning operators about driver CPC (DCPC) training when driver conduct is raised at Public Inquiries. \"I want to be very clear: the driver CPC is here to stay,\" said former transport under-secretary Mike Penning, speaking in 2012.\"It is not going anywhere and there will be no amnesty.\" This is pan-European legislation (European directive 2003/59/EC) and applies to bus and coach drivers too – their five-year training period started a year ahead of goods vehicle drivers’ and ends in September 2013. The guidance set out here for truck drivers is equally valid for bus and coach drivers, but the timeline shifts forward by one year.  \nThe FTA has a good idea why the industry is slow to react.“While awareness of these training obligations is high, there is a manifest reluctance from industry to invest in training drivers when there is a good chance that by the time the deadline comes around those same drivers might be working elsewhere,” says Isobel Harding, FTA national training manager.“But this approach could leave many companies struggling as the deadline approaches and demand for good value and meaningful training outstrips supply.  \nDriver CPC: step-by step  \n10 point guide to decide your approach to the Driver CPC  \n1. Establish how many drivers need DCPC training. It is your choice whether or not to train drivers who are due to retire before September 2014. Encourage drivers who do not hold photocard licences to apply for them.  \n2. Consider your objectives. What outcomes do you want?  \n3. Set aside a training budget. This must include not just the training fees, but also the hidden costs such as travel and meals, agency driver cover, time in lieu etc.  \n4. Assess training needs of the business and the drivers. Look at strengths and weaknesses, and how they impact on your business. Engage with the drivers and union. Choose and specify topics for training.  \n5. Decide on training methodology. Do you want drivers trained en bloc, individually or attend sessions with drivers from other companies? Do you want them trained in classrooms or cabs? What can you afford?  \n6. Choose suitable training provider, focusing in particular on course content, track record, training methodology and flexibilit","cbCaipJcrGSGtcDD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipJcrGSGtcDD","pdf",857553,"English","# Introduction\n# Driver CPC: step by step\n## 10 point guide to decide your approach to the Driver CPC\n# What the law requires","[{\"question\":\"What happens if a driver does not complete the required Driver CPC training by 10 September 2014?\",\"answer\":\"Drivers without the requisite 35 hours by 10 September 2014 will be unlicensed and taken off the road if stopped.
