Driver CPC question...

[MadMullah]

A quick question about the driver cpc that's being asked on alot of jobs more specifically the van and the 7.5t jobs

I've done some pcv training (wanting a job till i get i pass on the pcv)

I've done Mod 1, 2 and 4 - the mod 3 in terms of pcv is the actual test itself.

however if i was to apply for a driver cpc in terms of those jobs - what else would i require? or is this something completely different?

I passed my driving test in may 96 hence have the d1 and c1 grades on my licence.

so if i'm learning to drive the bus - that should go towards my 35 hours of cpc?

from reading about it i've got my initial cpc and its just the 35 hours i need to do if i'm to do any driving on my d1 and c1?

Your Mods 1,2,3 & 4 are your initial CPC. When you've completed them & are now qualified, you'll get your DCPC card. You then have to do 35hours within the next 5 years to maintain your qualification.

gotchya

thanks!!

i dont have to do the 35 straight away? just within that 5 yr period?

Your 4 mods get you the licence to drive & DCPC card. It's valid for 5 years & you have to do 35 hours within the 5 years for it not to expire, but you're good to go when you've got the initial DCPC by successfully completing mods 1-4. (You can wait 4years 11 months if you like & do all 35hours in the last month before expiry or you can spread it out, however you like).

but what if i didnt do the pcv - which is the mod 3

i can still get the dcpc from the fact i've already got a licence from 1996? or do i have to do the courses in that case?
