New Driver CPC courses from DriveTech

DriveTech, the UK’s leading provider of police educational courses for offenders and refresher courses for business drivers, has received the go ahead from the Joint Approvals Unit for Periodic Training (JAUPT) for the release of a batch of seven innovative courses that will comprise the company’s initial Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (Driver CPC) offering:

Full day (7 hours)

Driver CPC Real World Training Course (LGV only)
Defensive driving techniques tailored to the real working environment
Driver CPC Speed Workshop (PCV and LGV)
The case for, and benefits of, pro-active speed management
Driver CPC Safe Culture Workshop (PCV and LGV)
The benefits of EVERYBODY in an organisation being committed to driver safety

Half day (3.5 hours)

Driver CPC Mobile Phone Workshop (PCV and LGV)
The truth behind the danger of using a mobile phone inappropriately
Driver CPC Eco Driving Workshop (PCV and LGV)
Making every gallon count, without compromising journey times
Driver CPC Reversing and Manoeuvring Course (PCV and LGV)
Improving technique in the most common collision scenario
Driver CPC Seatbelt Workshop (PCV and LGV)

All ‘workshops’ are classroom-based, whereas ‘courses’ have a practical, hands-on element.

“Professional drivers will be required to complete 35 hours of Driver CPC training in order to retain their licence eligibility so, by completing all seven DriveTech courses, drivers would be meeting their legal obligations in full,” says DriveTech’s Director of Training, Steve Dethick.

“DriveTech will be developing other Driver CPC courses and workshops over the coming months but the first batch that have been delivered to corporate customers have been well received.”
