What a 7-hour CPC course involves
Two 3.5-hour parts — Season 1 and Season 2 — each a JAUPT-approved module, with breaks within each part. Delivered live on Zoom by Neil. Interactive — questions, discussion, exercises — not a slideshow you sit through. Booked together the two parts are recorded as one 7-hour International upload; booked on its own, each part is a 3.5-hour National module.
You’ll do a short ID check at the start (DVSA’s requirement — accessible alternatives on the accessibility page), cameras on during teaching (off during breaks), and the full text transcript lands in your inbox within 24 hours.
See the full module list at the module catalogue. Each scheduled course on the booking page shows which modules will be delivered and the DVSA reference numbers.
The topics you’ll cover
Every public scheduled course is built from these shared modules — open to LGV and PCV drivers together. Each is a 3.5-hour part, and two make a 7-hour day. Open any one for the full outline.
Drivers' Hours & Tachographs
Understand the drivers' hours rules that apply to you and how to stay compliant — EU/AETR and domestic rules, the Working Time Directive, and how to use digital and smart tachographs correctly.
Preventing Bridge Strikes
Know the real cost of a bridge strike — to you, your operator and the network — and learn practical ways to avoid one.
Driver Fitness & Health (Fit2Drive)
Looking after your health keeps you safe and legal. This module covers driving-at-work risk, the medical conditions you must report, and practical steps for a healthier driving life.
Drugs & Alcohol Awareness
Understand how alcohol and drugs — prescription, over-the-counter and illegal — affect your driving, and what the law and your employer require of you.
Vehicle & Load Security
Your legal duties for keeping your vehicle and load secure — covering crime prevention, clandestine entrants, and staying safe on the road.
Defensive Driving & Vulnerable Road Users
Reduce your risk on the road by anticipating hazards and protecting the most vulnerable road users around you.
The Highway Code for Professional Drivers
A professional driver's guide to the Highway Code — the rules, the law behind them, and the licence and endorsement codes you need to understand.
Speed Reduction & Eco-Driving
Drive at safe, legal speeds and use eco-driving techniques to cut fuel use and wear — better for you, the vehicle and the environment.
Road Emergencies & First Response
Know what to do when things go wrong on the road — your responsibilities, basic first aid, and how to handle accidents and incidents calmly.
Fines, Penalties & Public Inquiries
Up-to-date knowledge of infringements, fixed penalties and endorsements — and what happens at a Traffic Commissioner public inquiry.
Vehicle Technology & Alternative Fuels
How commercial-vehicle technology has changed and where it's heading — from driver-assist systems to alternative fuels and automation.
Conflict, Unconscious Bias & Resilience
Manage conflict on the road and at work, understand the biases we all carry, and build the resilience to stay calm and professional.
International or National?
We lead with International (£35) because it’s valid in both the UK and the EU and one DVSA upload covers all 7 hours. National is a single 3.5-hour part at £31.25, for UK-only drivers who want a half-day at a time. There’s no separate “National 7-hour” price — a full 7 hours recorded as National means two 3.5-hour parts and two DVSA uploads, which usually works out dearer than International’s single £35 upload. You’re free to do that; we’ll just point out the International option.

Two formats — and an honest recommendation
The course content is identical in both formats. The difference is pacing.
- Split evenings — Tuesday + Wednesday, 18:00 to 21:30 each (recommended). Two half-sessions on consecutive evenings. Easier on attention for most drivers, better delivery from the trainer.
- Saturday daytime — 09:00 to 16:30. A full 7-hour day. Convenient for drivers who can’t do evenings, but a more demanding format.
Why we recommend the split format, honestly
Seven hours of focused training in a single day is hard. It’s hard on drivers — most of you don’t sit at desks for a living, and your attention isn’t built for that kind of stillness. It’s also hard on the trainer. A trainer running hour 5 of a Saturday full-day course isn’t bringing the same energy as a trainer running hour 2 of a Wednesday evening session fresh from a day’s rest. We’re not going to pretend otherwise.
If you can do the Tuesday + Wednesday format, we recommend it. You’ll get better attention from the trainer, and you’ll bring better attention yourself. If Saturday is the only day that works for you — that’s fine, we run them every week and they work. Just know which trade-off you’re choosing.
LGV, PCV — every scheduled course is open to both
We’ve made a deliberate decision: every public scheduled course uses only modules from the shared section of the catalogue — the ones DVSA approves for both LGV and PCV drivers in the same room. What this means for you:
- Whatever your vocational licence(s), our scheduled courses are open to you. LGV, PCV, both — same booking, same room, same training.
- Class-specific training (LGV-only modules like Safe Loading; PCV-only modules like School Run & Safeguarding; the no-mix modules like Walk Round Checks) is available through bespoke courses rather than scheduled.
- Your vocational class (LGV / PCV) is collected by PSV-CT before the course for DVSA recording — not at booking — and it doesn’t affect which scheduled course you can attend.
The honest reason: we’d rather run scheduled courses that include everyone than fragment the public offering by class. Class- specific content lives where it makes most operational sense (bespoke), and our scheduled courses focus on the shared content that benefits every working driver.
What you need to attend
A laptop, computer, or tablet with a working webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Phones are allowed by DVSA but the experience is genuinely worse — smaller screen, shorter battery, less stable connection. If a phone is your only option, book the free 15-minute Zoom setup call when you book — we’ll check your camera, battery, and connection before the day.
What happens during the session
- Short ID check at the start — show your driving licence to camera, or use an accessible alternative arranged with us before the course
- Two 3.5-hour parts of taught content, with breaks within each
- Camera on during teaching, off during breaks
- Live captions available via Zoom (toggle on yourself; others don’t see your choice)
- Questions encouraged — small class means there’s actually time
- Trainer adds breaks where the room needs them
What happens after
- Full text transcript sent to you within 24 hours
- Your hours recorded with DVSA usually within 1 to 2 working days (5 working days at most) — check at gov.uk/check-your-driver-cpc-periodic-training-hours
- Short feedback request — optional but welcomed
- Email Neil any time with follow-up questions
