Beyond sharpening the skills of Belfast’s newest recruits, this legislation ensures the city’s veteran drivers stay current while navigating busy routes like the Westlink and the M1 motorway.
This ongoing training boosts road safety across Northern Ireland, improves driver welfare, and demands higher accountability from local operators, adding a professional edge to a vital career path in a major transport hub like the Port of Belfast.
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 Belfast-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 Belfast, Lisburn, and the wider County Antrim area.
