DCPC - will it count?

A friend -

23 years old, just left army, got c+e last year whilst in service, does not have initial DCPC qualification but has sat one day of Periodic DCPC. I told him it may not count as he has not done it initial.

Does anyone know if it will count…

No,

It can’t have been recorded as he will have neither acquired rights or initial qualification.

Unless he’s got C1 entitlement (7.5 tonnes) on his car licence, in which case it does count.

Did he have either C1 or C on his licence before 09/09/2009 ?

If not then he must get initial first to put him into the periodic system

If he is not in the periodic system then he cannot legally drive LGVs commercially

What did the trainer say when he sat the DCPC ? - did he tell him he was wasting his day as his hours could not be uploaded?

Maybe he passed his class C prior to 10/9/9… then he would be ok wouldnt he?
