CPC Professional support exists because the Driver Certificate of Professional Competence is easy to lose track of — 35 hours of periodic training spread across a five-year cycle, with no single reminder system, is a lot to self-manage on top of an already demanding driving job.
The consequences of letting it lapse are more serious than a paperwork inconvenience. Driving professionally without a valid Driver CPC can mean fines for both the driver and the operator, and in most cases you simply cannot legally continue carrying goods or passengers for hire or reward until the qualification is renewed. For agency drivers and owner-operators without a transport manager tracking this centrally, the risk of an unnoticed gap is higher still.
That’s the specific problem this service is built around: keeping a clear, up-to-date picture of your completed JAUPT-approved training hours against your five-year renewal deadline, so gaps get caught while there’s still time to book training rather than after your Driver Qualification Card has already expired.
The process starts with a straightforward verification step — sharing your current Driver Qualification Card and training history so we can check exactly where you stand. From there, we flag any outstanding hours you still need before your renewal date, and once your training is complete, we handle the renewal submission itself, so the new card arrives by post without you having to navigate DVSA’s process alone.
This service covers bus, coach, and HGV categories, and only counts JAUPT-approved training toward your hours, in line with DVSA’s requirements. If you’re unsure whether your current qualification applies to your role, or how many hours you have left in your current cycle, that’s exactly the kind of question the verification step is designed to answer.
