Training Modules

Most of the 3.5 hour modules listed in this section are individually approved by JAUPT.  You can combine two modules of your choice which are relevant to your operations to make up a seven hour course e.g. Module 3- Fuel Efficiency plus Module 4 -Safe Loading.

Module 10 Defensive Driving Theory and Practical,  is a full seven hour course.

Module 11 Professional Driver's First Aid, is a full seven  hour course. 

Course Location

Courses can be run on your premises anywhere in the UK if you are able to provide a suitable training room.  We will check the room prior to the course to ensure that it meets basic JAUPT requirements.   We can provide all audio visual equipment.  We suggest that you provide refreshments during the day.

Course Scheduling & the 35 hours requirement

PCV drivers need to complete their 35 hours of training by September 2013.  LGV drivers need to complete their 35 hours of training by September 2014. 

The 35 hours can be phased over this period to suit you.  e.g.  7 hours per year for five years, or 14 hours in each of two years and 7 hours in one year, or any combination so long at the 35 hours is completed before the deadline date for PCV or LGV drivers.

Course Timings,  Weekend Training & Course Size

Most course run between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. but some clients prefer to start earlier.  A full seven hour session must be completed in one day.  Or the seven hours can be completed over two days providing that the second 3.5 hour session starts within 24 hours of the end of the first 3.5 hour session.

We can run courses during the normal working week or on a Saturday.  

We are registered with JAUPT to deliver courses for up to 15 delegates on one course. 

Driving Licences and Identification

Drivers must produce the approprite documentation for identification purposes when attending a driver CPC course.   The options are

a Photo-card Driving Licence plus Paper counterpart

or

Paper driving licence plus current Passport

All documents must be originals, NO copies are permitted. Scans or copies held by employers are NOT acceptable.  If a driver fails to produce the appropriate documentation we will not be able to upload his attendance records to the DSA register.

Attendance & DSA Registration

Drivers must attend the full seven hours of training to qualify for having their seven hours attendance uploaded to the DSA register.  Drivers failing to attend the full seven hours will not have their details registered with the DSA so even their partial attendance will not count. Late arrivals or early leavers will not be registered as having attended.

Drivers completing seven hours training will have their details uploaded to the DSA register.  Once a driver has completed 35 hours of training, the DSA will immediately issue a Driver Qualification Card (DQC) which is sent to the driver's home address. 

Course Fees

The fee for a seven hour course on your premises is £400 plus VAT per trainer day plus upload fees. So if you have 15 drivers attending that works out at  £26.66 plus VAT per driver.  Upload fees are currently £8.75 per driver for each seven hour course and are recharged to you at cost. 

Module 11 Professional Drivers First Aid is a seven hour course delivered by a St John Ambulance trainer.  The fee is £600 plus VAT for a maximum of 12 delegates plus £8.75 per driver upload fee.
