Beyond sharpening the skills of Taunton’s newest recruits, this legislation ensures the town’s veteran drivers stay current while navigating busy routes like the M5, the A358, and the A38 Toneway.
This ongoing training boosts road safety across Somerset, improves driver welfare, and demands higher accountability from local operators, adding a professional edge to a vital career path in a town that serves as a central transport link 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 Taunton-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 Taunton, Bridgwater, and the wider Somerset area.
