Dear Mr Duff
Thank you for your email of 6 January about the Operator’s CPC.
I note your comments, however individuals acquire the Operator’s CPC by running and managing a fleet. This is not the same as Driver CPC. Those who wish to drive professionally must have Driver CPC.
As the operator’s course is not part of Driver CPC it is not an official training course and therefore, does not count towards an individual’s Driver CPC periodic training.
Yours sincerely
Mr Brian Cater
