Taking a training course

You must take one of these to your Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) training course:

  • a photocard driving licence
  • a valid passport
  • a digital tachograph card
  • a Driver CPC card

You’re required to attend courses, but there are no tests or exams to pass at the end of them. Instead, you’ll get a certificate of attendance. It belongs to you - your employer is not allowed to keep it.

Your Driver CPC training record

The training centre will put your training on your Driver CPC training record.

Contact the centre where you did your training if it is not showing on your record 5 days after the course.

If you took a non-Driver CPC course

If you took a non-Driver CPC course, the provider will not upload your records. Email DVSA with the details. Include:

  • your name
  • your driving licence number
  • your date of birth
  • your address
  • the date you completed the training
  • proof you completed the training - for example, a copy of a training certificate

Problems with a training course

You can email the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) if you think the training provided was not to the right standard, for example the course did not last as long as it should have.
