Beyond sharpening the skills of Scotland’s newest recruits, this legislation ensures the country’s veteran drivers stay current while navigating busy routes like the M8, the A9, and the Queensferry Crossing.
This ongoing training boosts road safety across the nation, improves driver welfare, and demands higher accountability from Scottish operators, adding a professional edge to a vital career path across the Central Belt and the Highlands.
CPC courses are mandatory for nearly every driver holding a C1 licence in Scotland. There are two primary routes: the Initial CPC, which is integrated into your Scotland-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 Glasgow, Edinburgh, and the wider Scottish regions.
