Certificate of Professional Competence

Driver CPC, sometimes referred to as the Certificate of Professional Competence, mandates that you carry your CPC card with you whenever you drive an HGV or LGV on public property. Many will charge you if you are operating a vehicle on the road without the CPC kitties with you.

Thus, carry your CPC card at all times. Never forget to update your CPC card once every five years. You can also check the CPC card's expiration date, and you can complete the first 35 hours of the course to learn about the card's updating requirements.

The CPC Theory Test and the CPC Practical Test are the two components of the CPC course. You will read more about these two exams as well as the CPC Theory Test Practice.
