Are you cpc (35 hours) qualified yet?

doing my cpc the other day the trainer said theres going to be a massive shortage next sept as hardly anyone has done there cpc yet and when they all try to next year there wont be enough trainers and a lot wont be trained before sept.

how many on here are cpc qualified yet?

Qualified for nearly 24months now. Haven’t driven a truck for 6 weeks though and hopefully never will again.

Yeah, got mine :sunglasses:

Yes by me and 1 in 5 have not even started yet.

Not doing it, they can stuff the job when that comes in. I know a lot of blokes doing the same.

Got one more day to do booked in for january.
All these who say there not doing it i can see some blokes might do the odd shift who might not bother or people with a licence but work at other things but how many full timers are going to do something else over it and have it lined up.
Ive got a feeling could be a lot of people doing if next summer

Great cure for insomnia by the way.:slight_smile:

You could well be right in what your saying kr79, but I wont be one of them. I have had a lot of years and good times on trucks, but I have had enough of it now I just want out of it. This is as good a way as any to get rid of white line fever. If I don’t have the CPC I can’t do the job, my next option is I fail my medical in January, ether or both will work. :wink:

I have one module left to do

As above, one mindblowing module left to go which will be done next February…and then the following February and repeat…

I put yes, but mines is the initial qualification
I am seeing alot of jobs advertised with full cpc as a requirement and welcoming new drivers, maybe we will see an end to the 2+ years of experience (maybe not)
having my dqc was one of the main reasons I was given a full time job straight after passing my class 2

Not even started yet … best get my ar$e in gear I guess :slight_smile:

Not started it yet … my work have booked me on a course in January.

I’ve said many times on here I haven’t done any and I will not do any, nothing’s changed. Especially when you hear stories like one of our lads told me the other week. 5 mins into the day and the trainer says, " I don’t know why I’m telling you lot this, I don’t even have an HGV licence, you lot know more about it than me"! That said you do notice more & more employers wanting drivers with it, or at least some of it.

I’m intending to take a good book and sit at the back reading it, stopping only to point out the more obvious howlers from the instructor. My activity levels will decline after lunch as I also intend to find a convivial hostelry in which to while away the lunch hour. :smiley:

Are there not some who’ve completed their 5th module before September this year, and will then find themselves owing 7 hours when the 2008 module rolls off September next year? :confused:

Full timers I know have been doing one single 7 hour module for the last 5 years, so doing it like that, I’m thinking you have to do another new one each and every year?

Completed mine a month back.

Courses were starting to get busy at the last completed one.

Nope, but looking forward to a few Saturdays overtime at time and a half for the course’s :smiley:
