• New drivers throughout the European Union will have to pass two initial CPC tests as well as the theory and practical LGV driving tests from 10 September 2009.
• If undergoing a national vocational training course, new drivers will be temporarily exempt from the initial CPC tests.
• Drivers who already hold a vocational licence will be exempt from the initial CPC tests but must undergo 35 hours of training within five years of September 2009.
• Each course for this periodic training must last at least seven hours and be delivered by providers approved by JAUPT.
• Training can be tailored to the needs of companies and individual drivers and can be delivered at any time during the five-year period.
• Training providers will record the amount of periodic training completed by each driver with both Vosa and the Driving Standards Agency (OSA).
• Hours spent on training will be covered by the Working Time Directive if an employee is being paid to attend.
