Beyond sharpening the skills of Bristol’s newest recruits, this legislation ensures the city’s veteran drivers stay current while navigating busy routes like the M4/M5 interchange and the Portway.
This ongoing training boosts road safety across the West of England, improves driver welfare, and demands higher accountability from local operators, adding a professional edge to a vital career path in a major regional transport hub like Avonmouth.
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 Bristol-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 Bristol, Filton, and the wider Somerset and Gloucestershire area.
