Beyond sharpening the skills of Swansea’s newest recruits, this legislation ensures the city’s veteran drivers stay current while navigating busy routes like the M4, the A48, and the high-traffic corridors around Swansea Docks.
This ongoing training boosts road safety across South West Wales, improves driver welfare, and demands higher accountability from local operators, adding a professional edge to a vital career path in a key maritime and industrial gateway.
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 Swansea-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 Swansea, Neath, and the wider Gower and Carmarthenshire area.
