LGV/PCV Driver's CPC course

<< < (2/3) > >>

twiggy:
Can anyone tell me if you still need to do this driver cpc if you already have a national CPC? I have asked several people and no one seems to know the answer.

Matt, there are B+E instructors who advertise in Doncaster, trouble is that a lot (me included) did not take the test before April this year and can no longer instruct under the grandfather rights.

Most truck trainers will be able to help you out though.  However you will probably need to furnish the trailer and since 1998 it has to block your rear window, unless you use an older car.

It's not cheap or convenient which is probably why few instructors bother TBH.


As for driving HGV at 18, that's very odd becuase soon you won't be able to take your car test 'till you're 18 :-k  Had our gov't adopted the rule that you had to be a qualified instructor to accompany a learner I'd definitely be better off, i think they pick and choose the ones that let them take more of our money TBH.

AFAIK, they're completely unrelated (in the eyes of the MoT), so having the CPC still means getting the CPC driver. But don't quote me on it.

Terranger:
My Boss has the National CPC, as he is the nominal Transport Manager, but he HAS TO also complete this Driver's CPC.

Sider:
Thought so, but I can't seem to find the bit of the regs where it says so.

Terranger, what a lot of people don't realise is that the stalini..., sorry, progressive labour government, used the EU as a scapegoat for all the regulations they felt like introducing. Some of them originated in Brussels, true, what they don't tell you is that they were the instigators.

Until ratified by the individual member states, legislation passed in brussels does not supersede said state laws. The commun..., sorry, lapsus linguae, labour chose what legislation (or proposed legislation) went with their 5 year plan (sorry, I mean their detailed study of british economy and society), implemented it of their own accord, and then blamed the eurocrats. Result: they mould reality to their ideology without the political backlash.
