Beyond sharpening the skills of Exeter’s newest recruits, this legislation ensures the city’s veteran drivers stay current while navigating busy routes like the M5, the A30, and the A38 Devon Expressway.
This ongoing training boosts road safety across Devon, improves driver welfare, and demands higher accountability from local operators, adding a professional edge to a vital career path in a key transport hub for the South West.
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 Exeter-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 Exeter, Exmouth, and the wider Devon area.
