Beyond sharpening the skills of Stoke-on-Trent’s newest recruits, this legislation ensures the city’s veteran drivers stay current while navigating busy routes like the A50, the D-Road (A500), and the M6 corridor.
This ongoing training boosts road safety across the Potteries, improves driver welfare, and demands higher accountability from local operators, adding a professional edge to a vital career path in a city that serves as a central hub for UK distribution and logistics.
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 Stoke-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 Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme, and the wider Staffordshire area.
