Driver CPD
Once you have passed your driving test you will need to obtain your driver CPD before you can drive professionally…. Unless you passed your car test before January 1997 or for HGV obtained a C1 licence before 10 September 2009 or for buses a D1 licence before 10 September 2008.
The new driver CPD entails passing a case study theory test and a Demonstration practical test.
Existing drivers who do not need to do the new driver CPD will need to complete 35 hours classroom training every 5 years to be allowed to continue driving professionally, we recommend doing 7 hours per year
