Driver CPC Periodic Training

    3rd Apr 2020

    The Government has announced temporary changes to professional driver requirements as part of its response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

    During the coronavirus outbreak, it may be difficult for drivers to complete their periodic training. The Department for transport has therefore put in place temporary changes to professional driver qualification requirements.

    Professional lorry and bus drivers whose Driver Qualification Card (DQC) expires in the period 1 March 2020 to 30th September 2020 can continue driving.

    Drivers should continue to carry their expired DQC during this period. More information about the updated guidance and keep up to date with all official government advice on COVID-19.
