Beyond sharpening the skills of Barnsley’s newest recruits, this legislation ensures the town’s veteran drivers stay current while navigating busy South Yorkshire routes like the M1, the A628 Woodhead Pass, and the Dearne Valley Parkway.
This ongoing training boosts road safety across the borough, improves driver welfare, and demands higher accountability from local operators, adding a professional edge to a vital career path in a town with a proud industrial and logistical heritage.
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 Barnsley-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 Barnsley, Wombwell, and the wider South Yorkshire area.
