Is it like the check test that I have to undergo periodically as an ADI ? Drivers certificate of professional competence. Basically 40 hours of "training" to make sure you're up to speed on drivers hours, regulations and safety etc.... The thing is you can't fail it so it's pointless. |

Our company has its own lgv instructors and they now run cpc courses too.
I actually got paid to sit the course so can't complain too much as it hasn't cost me anything apart from the loss of overtime.

He let us go early in the end by 3/4 of an hour. It was just like being in school for me. We sat at the back of class gassing and not paying attention.
Did we learn anything? No
Did we do anything constructive? No
Waste of money? yes for my company
Waste of time? yes for me and my company, just to satify europrats

The CPC guy who teaches this and does the grading for the company I work in admitted to us that he has neither a car license nor a truck licence(nor a bike license either). He has some sort of degree in renewable energy from a university in Hull.

Its a joke, 35 hours and you you can sit the same module 5 times and get your card at the end of it....now how the feck does that help with road safety if i can sit my first aid 5 times and that qualifies a pass!
More money for the gov right enough, we are mugs, suppose they need it for the foreigners claiming benefits!
25% of all income tax for the unemployed and housing benefit.
And the higher majority will never work and come off it!
But keep firing the weans out.
China has the right idea, benefits for first born only.
That will get unemployment down.
Rant over.
ooooh Happy New Year guys!
Gee.
