Driver CPC - In House Training Qualification
22 December 2009
Rhys Davies Freight Logistics has successfully become an accredited training centre for the Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC). This means in-house periodic training can be delivered to all drivers in line with the requirements of the new legislation. The Driver CPC is being introduced across the EU to maintain high driving standards and improve road safety. To achieve the CPC, all drivers will need to complete a minimum of 35 hours of periodic training within every 5 year period, which will require attendance at courses but not involve taking exams.
RDFL has two accredited packages:
- Driver Defensive Training
- Drivers' Hours, Tachograph Regulations and Working Time Directive
More packages can be accredited in the future if the need arises.
By becoming an accredited training centre, RDFL has ensured the compliance of all its current drivers with this new legislation and therefore safeguarded its workforce from the possibility of losing their licences and therefore their ability to work in the Haulage industry.
The future aim is to offer this training to external companies who have not been able to manage this in-house, thus adding another string to RDFL's bow, and helping the company expand in the future.
