Beyond sharpening the skills of Southampton’s newest recruits, this legislation ensures the city’s veteran drivers stay current while navigating busy routes like the M27, the A33, and the high-traffic corridors around the Port of Southampton.
This ongoing training boosts road safety across Hampshire, improves driver welfare, and demands higher accountability from local operators, adding a professional edge to a vital career path in one of the UK’s most significant maritime and logistics hubs.
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 Southampton-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 Southampton, Eastleigh, and the wider South Coast area.
