Beyond sharpening the skills of Plymouth’s newest recruits, this legislation ensures the city’s veteran drivers stay current while navigating busy routes like the A38 Devon Expressway, the Tamar Bridge, and the high-traffic corridors around Plymouth Sound.
This ongoing training boosts road safety across Devon and Cornwall, improves driver welfare, and demands higher accountability from local operators, adding a professional edge to a vital career path in a key maritime and logistics 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 Plymouth-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 Plymouth, Ivybridge, and the wider South Hams area.
