Beyond sharpening the skills of Northampton’s newest recruits, this legislation ensures the town’s veteran drivers stay current while navigating busy routes like the A45, the M1, and the A43 corridor.
This ongoing training boosts road safety across Northamptonshire, improves driver welfare, and demands higher accountability from local operators, adding a professional edge to a vital career path in what is widely known as the “Logistics Golden Triangle.”
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 Northampton-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 Northampton, Daventry, and the surrounding distribution hubs.
