WARNING DRIVER CPC IS IN HIGH DEMAND

Tuesday September 2017

September 2017 is the start of the final two years of the DCPC deadline for the majority of drivers with a DQC expiry of September 2019.

According to the statistics published by the DVSA the final two years of the DCPC cycle is the peak period for drivers to complete their 35 hours of approved training.

During the final 2 years of the first cycle of DCPC (2013&2014) 15,640,792 periodic training hours was uploaded bringing the total number of hours uploaded since Driver CPC was introduced (2008 Passenger & 2009 Road Haulage) to 24,154,550.  This means almost 74% of the total periodic training hours uploaded took place in the final two years.  In addition, these figures do not include the 1,104,910 training hours uploaded in September 2014 which can almost be categorised as late entries or on the last minute!

It is estimated, based on the information published by DVSA the same pattern has occurred since Sept 2014 resulting in a total number of 14,874,106 periodic training hours to be uploaded before Sept 2019 in order to reach the same amount as the previous cycle.
