In March 2012 we were very proud to become the first Customer Site for Lorry and Bus tests in the region. This means that all trainees now train and test with us at our Fitzwilliam Training and Test Centre. In November 2021, the UK Government announced changes to the legislation which has had a massive impact on our industry. One of the biggest changes is the reversing part of the test. This is now conducted by our own reversing assessors. Our on site, private reversing area is where you will learn to reverse your vehicle efficiently and take your test. The on-road driving test is carried out by DVSA Driving Examiners who are based at our site.

driver hire training

All professional drivers of large goods vehicles must have a Driver Qualification Card, or DQC. There are a small number of exemptions, but essentially if you’re driving an HGV / LGV (licence categories C, C1, C1+E or C+E), then Driver CPC is a legal obligation. Professional PCV drivers with equivalent licences are also required to hold a DQC. Ongoing requirement Whether the initial DQC was gained as part of the drivers’ initial licence acquisition or by attending Driver CPC training courses, Driver CPC is an ongoing requirement. It is mandated by EU law (Directive 2003/59) and is designed to improve the knowledge and skills of drivers, as well as enhancing safety on our roads. The requirement for Driver CPC has not changed as a result of Brexit and there are no Government plans to do so – the relevant regulations pass into UK law. We believe that done well, Driver CPC training makes a positive contribution to the road transport industry, supporting the ongoing professional development of the drivers who make such a valuable contribution to our society. What must a driver do? Each DQC is valid for five years from the date of issue. This means that – unlike the 2014 deadline set when Driver CPC was introduced – each driver’s renewal date is unique to them. All drivers must undertake 35 hours’ periodic training before the end of the five years following the issue date on their DQC. If the training is not undertaken during that time, they will not be permitted to drive professionally until they have completed their 35 hours. The best way to ensure that a DQC doesn’t lapse is to carry out at least one day’s mandatory periodic training every year. To check your Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (Driver CPC) training record, visit the Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency website. The consequences If a driver is caught driving commercially without their Driver Qualification Card: Both driver and operator face fines of up to £1000 Driver suspended from driving commercially until training is completed Possible reduction in driving workforce, and operations adversely affected If operations are affected, your reputation with customers could be damaged If convicted, operator’s OCRS rating will drop to red Likely increase in insurance premiums What should I look for in Driver CPC training? When choosing your Driver CPC training provider, look for a wide range of relevant topics for drivers to choose from. This keeps the training useful, interesting and engaging. Look out for interactive elements, such as videos, quizzes and feedback sessions, which will benefit drivers, and add real value to the training.

capital of cycling

Capital of Cycling was born in 2017 out of a coalition of cycling organisations in Bradford. It was formed to bring together all the wonderful work being done to promote cycling in Bradford. We are a small team of 7 employees, most of whom work part time.We have access to a workshop area where we teach maintenance classes, teach skills to volunteers, do up bikes for community groups and run drop-in sessions for members of the public to fix their own bikes. Our indoor track is used by other community organisations to offer weather proof cycling activity and for us to run cycle lessons in the dry.
