Driver CPC : Module 1 (Control of Vehicle & Eco Driving Techniques)

Driver CPC is the qualification that all HGV, bus and coach drivers need if they wish to drive professionally for a living. Driver CPC was introduced across the EU from 10th September 2008 for professional bus drivers and 10th September 2009 for professional truck drivers.

If you have your bus licence on or before the 9th September 2008, or your truck licence on or before 9th September 2009, you are automatically entitled to CPC training. This is called acquired rights. In order to keep your Driver CPC, you must do 35 hours of periodic training over five years. Training is on a one day per year basis.

Module One: Control of Vehicle and Eco Driving Techniques (CVEDT)
Module Two: Minimising Risks and Managing Emergencies in the Transport Industry (MRMET)
Module Three: Health and Safety of the Professional Driver (HSOPD)
Module Four: Role of the Professional Driver in the Transport Industry (RPDTI)
Module Five: The Professional Truck Driver (PROTD)
Module Six: The Professional Bus Driver (PROBD)

Each Module is one-day duration. Modules 1 to 4 are common to both Bus and Truck Driving Licenses.
If a driver has both a Bus and Truck driving license he/she will complete both Modules 5 and 6.
The onus is on the driver to complete one module from the list above in each 12 month period.
