Driver CPC: the basics
Exemptions from Driver CPC requirements
The requirement to hold a DQC or undertake CPC periodic training does not apply to drivers of a vehicle that:
has a maximum authorised speed not exceeding 45 kilometres per hour
is used by, or under the control of, the armed forces, civil defence, the fire service and forces responsible for maintaining public order
is undergoing road tests for technical development, repair or maintenance purposes, or is a new or rebuilt vehicle which has not yet been put into service
is used in states of emergency or assigned to rescue missions
is driven in the course of driving lessons for any person wishing to obtain a driving licence or a Driver CPC
is used for non-commercial carriage of passengers or goods, for personal use
carries material or equipment to be used by the driver in the course of his or her work, provided that driving the vehicle is not the driver’s principal activity
think the last one should be the relevant exemption
