Introduction
If you’re looking to start or renew your Driver CPC (Certificate of Professional Competence) training, simply give Wayside Transport a call today to find out how we can help. Driver CPC certification is a set of standards designed to ensure proficiency and competency among all professional drivers.
With a few exceptions, it is a legal requirement for all professional drivers driving any vehicles over 3,500kgs to undertake Driver CPC training. At Wayside Transport, we recommend that even if you feel that you’re exempt, you should still consider undertaking this training to ensure that you’re up-to-speed with current legal requirements.
