Is a career as a professional driver calling to you?
Whether you intend to drive a coach, horsebox, HGV, or a minibus, you’ll need to demonstrate superior levels of driving ability and maintain your own safety and that of others on the roads.
This is possible with CPC driver training in Leicester. A Certificate of Professional Competence is a legal requirement for professional drivers that needs to be acquired alongside your relevant driver’s licence before you can start earning.

What is driver CPC training?
The CPC (Certificate of Professional Competence) is a qualification all lorry, bus and coach drivers must have if they wish to drive professionally in the UK. It ensures drivers maintain the highest standards and stay up to date on all relevant safety regulations, for the benefit of themselves and other road users.
At HGV Training Network, our CPC course in Leicester will ensure you’re armed with all the knowledge you need to perform your duties effectively on the open road as a professional HGV driver.

Why do I need to do a driver CPC course?
If you wish to drive any of the above vehicles legally, a driver CPC certificate is a legal requirement. If you drive without one, you or your employer could be subject to hefty fines, revoked licences and irreparable reputational damage.
HGV Training Network is here to offer you the skills, knowledge and qualifications you need to turn a passion for driving into a long and fulfilling career – none of which can happen without earning your CPC.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I do my CPC training online?
Our dedicated HGV training centre in Leicester is the ideal place to complete your CPC training if you’re local to the area or the East Midlands in general. Here, you’ll be supported by a team of experienced drivers, all of whom are well-versed in the rules and regulations of the driver CPC.
However, we understand the needs of the modern digital world. That’s why, if necessary, we may be able to arrange online learning materials so you can complete your CPC training from the privacy of your own home. Just speak to a member of the team for more information.
Who is exempt from CPC training?
There are several instances where drivers will not need a Certificate of Professional Competence to get behind the wheel.
For example, if you intend to drive an empty heavy goods vehicle for personal use, rather than for professional use, you would not need a CPC in this scenario. Other types of drivers/vehicles that are exempt include emergency service staff and vehicles.
If you’re unsure whether you need a CPC, be sure to speak to a member of the team, and we’ll do our best to help.
How much does CPC training cost?
How much you’ll pay for CPC training in Leicester depends on a few different factors. Most notably, whether you’re a new starter in the driving business or you’re completing periodic CPC training.
As everyone’s circumstances are different, we can’t offer a blanket figure. Instead, we’d recommend getting in touch with one of our driving experts, who’ll be able to shed some light on your expected CPC costs once they have all the right information.
How long does CPC training in Leicester take?
If you’re approaching professional driving for the first time, you’ll need to take your CPC course as part of your overall driver training (including practical and theory training). This can take several weeks or months, depending on your availability and skill level.
However, if you’re concerned about periodic CPC training, you’ll only need to complete 35 hours of training every five years, which you can break down to suit your schedule.
Can you fail CPC training?
Yes, it is possible to fail your CPC training. If you don’t pass just one of your initial CPC modules, you’ll fail the entire course and will need to rebook your exams.
However, if we’re referring to periodic CPC training, failing wouldn’t be an option because it’s based on attendance and participation. As long as you show up to your CPC refresher classes, you’ll pass.
How long will CPC training Leicester-wide take?
How long it takes depends on the type of CPC training you need.
Periodic CPC training takes a blanket 35 hours over a 5-day period.
However, interim CPC training will take slightly longer and is completed as part of your theory and practical driver training so will be threaded through your training.
For this reason, it could take anywhere from a fortnight to a few months and will differ between learners.
