Restrictions triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a switch to live online periodic driver CPC (Certificate of Professional Competence) training sanctioned by the DVSA to avoid the risk of infection. In-vehicle and classroom-based training restarted in April, although at the time of writing the DVSA was still encouraging remote delivery of training where possible to minimise any risk of spreading the virus. Future moves much depend on the stance adopted by the DVSA and JAUPT, the Joint Approvals Unit for Periodic Training. DVSA has been conducting a consultation on the efficacy of online courses and whether they should remain as an option, which has recently closed. Many training companies would welcome their continued availability, and believe it would be supported by both transport fleets and drivers. |
