Beyond sharpening the skills of London’s newest recruits, this legislation ensures the city’s veteran drivers stay current while navigating complex routes like the M25, the North Circular, and busy Low Emission Zones.
This ongoing training boosts road safety across the capital, improves driver welfare, and demands higher accountability from local operators, adding a professional edge to a vital career path in one of the world’s most demanding urban transport hubs.
CPC courses are mandatory for nearly every driver holding a C1 licence in the Greater London area. There are two primary routes: the Initial CPC, which is integrated into your London-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 London, Croydon, and the surrounding Home Counties.
