Beyond sharpening the skills of Wigan’s newest recruits, this legislation ensures the town’s veteran drivers stay current while navigating busy routes like the A580 East Lancs, the M6, and the M61 corridor.
This ongoing training boosts road safety across Greater Manchester, 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 strategic link for Northern distribution.
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 Wigan-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 Wigan, Leigh, and the wider North West area.
