Consultation on Driver Certificate of Professional Competence

Introduction

The Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) is a key qualification for vocational drivers, operators, and training providers. Understanding stakeholders’ experiences with the Driver CPC is essential to ensure the qualification remains effective and relevant. The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has launched a survey to gather feedback on this vital topic.

Survey Details and Purpose

The DVSA survey opened on 16 February 2026 and will remain available until 11: 59pm on 2 March 2026. It invites vocational drivers, operators, and Driver CPC training bodies to share their views on the Driver CPC process.

The survey aims to collect data about participants’ experiences in taking, arranging, and delivering ongoing Driver CPC training. This feedback will help identify areas where changes or improvements may be necessary within the Driver CPC framework.

What Respondents Can Expect

Participants can expect questions covering various aspects of the Driver CPC, including:

• Practical experiences of completing Driver CPC training
• Challenges faced when arranging or delivering training
