Driver CPC (Certificate of Professional Competence) is a qualification for professional bus, coach, and lorry drivers. It was introduced in 2008 as part of the European Union (EU) Directive 2003/59, which was designed to improve road safety and reduce the number of accidents involving large vehicles.

Driver CPC is a legal requirement for anyone who drives a large goods vehicle (LGV) or a passenger-carrying vehicle (PCV) professionally. Drivers must hold Driver CPC to be able to drive their vehicle for work. All drivers are required to complete 35 hours of periodic training every five years, in order to keep their Driver CPC valid.

Driver CPC training is designed to improve the knowledge and skills of professional drivers, and is centred around four key areas: safe driving, customer service, fuel efficiency, and environmental awareness. Drivers are taught about topics such as fatigue, safety in loading, vehicle maintenance, and legal responsibilities.

The Driver CPC is a great way for drivers to increase their knowledge and stay up-to-date with the latest industry regulations. It also helps to ensure that professional drivers are up to date with the latest safety and environmental regulations, and are equipped with the necessary skills to drive safely and responsibly.
