Driver CPC reforms to come into force on 3 December Following a debate in Parliament, the date for the reforms to Driver CPC to come into law has been confirmed as Tuesday 3 December. The reforms coming into force on this date include: introducing a National Driver CPC that will cover driving a lorry, bus or coach in the UK allowing training courses to be done in blocks of 3.5 hours, rather than the current 7 hours, to allow greater flexibility decoupling e-learning from trainer led courses The measure to speed up the process for drivers to return to driving a lorry, bus or coach in the UK if their Driver CPC has expired will come into force on 1 February 2025. You can find out more details on the dedicated Driver CPC reforms page on GOV.UK. Introducing a periodic test The results from the 2023 consultation on the introduction of a test were mixed and DfT will continue to keep under review the possibility of the introduction of a periodic test.
