Driver CPC Courses

All professional drivers of HGV/LGV (license categories C, C1, C1+E, or C+E) and equivalent PCV drivers must hold a DQC. There are a few exemptions, but for the most part, Driver CPC is a legal obligation for these drivers.

The Driver Qualification Card (DQC) is a legal requirement for professional drivers of large goods vehicles (HGV/LGV) and professional PCV drivers with equivalent licenses. The DQC is mandated by EU law (Directive 2003/59) and is designed to improve drivers’ knowledge and skills, as well as enhance safety on the roads.

The initial DQC can be obtained as part of the drivers’ initial license acquisition or by attending Driver CPC training courses. However, Driver CPC is an ongoing requirement, and drivers need to continuously update and renew their DQC to remain compliant.
