3 words…Certificate of Professional Competency. Exactly what it says on the tin [emoji848]

Nope. The DCPC is merely a qualification and a poor one at that and you can still drive a lorry without one. Merely having the qualification doesn’t make you a professional, to be a professional under its true definition also requires being a member of an oversight body for that job and one which without membership you cannot do the job.

If the DCPC was proof of professionalism it would be like every other qualification I’ve had to do in other fields and would involve taking exams with a minimum pass mark of 85% instead of just being given it for showing up. Could you imagine if the DCPC had that? You’d see over half the drivers being taken off the road.

I absolutely agree with you 100%
I cannot believe how much of a waste of time it is.
