Changes 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 previous 7 hours, to allow greater flexibility decoupling e-learning from trainer led courses The guidance on how the reforms affect drivers has been updated on GOV.UK The measure to speed up the process for drivers to return to driving a lorry of bus coach in the UK if their Driver CPC has expired will come into effect on 1 February 2025. Finding National Driver CPC courses Over 200 National training courses have been approved and added to the list of available Driver CPC training courses.
