Beyond sharpening the skills of Cardiff’s newest recruits, this legislation ensures the city’s veteran drivers stay current while navigating busy routes like the M4, the A48 Western Avenue, and the high-traffic corridors around the Port of Cardiff.
This ongoing training boosts road safety across South Wales, improves driver welfare, and demands higher accountability from local operators, adding a professional edge to a vital career path in the heart of the Welsh capital.
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 Cardiff-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 Cardiff, Barry, and the wider Vale of Glamorgan.
