Beyond sharpening the skills of Edinburgh’s newest recruits, this legislation ensures the city’s veteran drivers stay current while navigating busy routes like the M8, the A720 City Bypass, and the Queensferry Crossing.
This ongoing training boosts road safety across the Lothians, improves driver welfare, and demands higher accountability from local operators, adding a professional edge to a vital career path in a city that serves as a major hub for Scottish commerce.
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 Edinburgh-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 Edinburgh, Livingston, and the wider South East Scotland area.
