Beyond sharpening the skills of Aberdeen’s newest recruits, this legislation ensures the city’s veteran drivers stay current while navigating busy routes like the A92 and the AWPR.
This ongoing training boosts road safety across the North East of Scotland, improves driver welfare, and demands higher accountability from local operators, adding a professional edge to a vital career path in a major energy and transport hub like the Port of Aberdeen.
CPC courses are mandatory for nearly every driver holding a C1 licence in the region. There are two primary routes: the Initial CPC, which is integrated into your Aberdeen-based HGV training, and Periodic CPC Training, required every five years to keep you compliant. This affects anyone driving HGVs for “hire and reward” throughout Aberdeen, Dyce, and the wider Aberdeenshire area.
