Who Needs A Driver CPC
Holders of vocational licenses prior to 10th September 2008/9 will be granted Grandfather Rights and will not have to acquire the Driver CPC. They will, however, have to undertake 35 hours of Periodic Training, to be completed within a 5 year period from 10th September 2008/9 as will all new drivers in order to renew their Driver CPC.
