At Ridgeway Training we have been providing drivers all over the UK, CPC training courses for many years to ensure the highest level of competency and safety across the country and overseas. What does it mean? Is it for you? This week we thought we would recap what CPC means, what it does and who needs it.
What is CPC?
CPC stands for Certificate of Professional Competence. This title can also apply to other industries which is why it is important to distinguish that this type of CPC is commonly known as Passenger International CPC.
Who should be taking CPC training courses?
Some companies need to operate larger vehicles for their company to fully function, even when passenger transportation is not their main service. Other companies may operate vehicles that carry passengers such as buses or coaches. The transport manager will ensure compliance with requirements of road transport law.
A professionally competent person will be expected to understand how to successfully manage a business as well as the specific legal conditions involved in operating large vehicles in different environments.
The issuing authority for operator licences is known as the Traffic Commissioners and they require professional competence to be proven by at least one member of the management team of operators of most goods vehicles and passenger-carrying vehicles.
This course is suitable for Those who wish to apply for a Standard National or International PSV Operators’ Licence, or hold the position of Transport Manager. The outcome of the course meets the requirements of EU directive 98/76/EC for admission to the occupation of Passenger Transport Operator, as well as the requirements of Professional Competence.
