OK, might get slated for this - but if you can’t beat 'em join 'em is my philosophy 
DCPC is here, and will probably remain here. There are a lot of trainers who know naff all about the industry making (I assume) good money from it.
I have trained people in the past, so how do I get into the industry? Do I need qualifications, or just someone who is JAUPT approved to teach me and take me on? Any advice gratefully received…
From my own experience of DCPC courses (only as a student) they’re a waste of a good trainer.
So long as you can get the drivers through the course without them falling asleep or arsing about, there’s nothing to it.
I looked into it and, now this will no doubt come as a shock to you, even I cannot spout that much ■■■■■■■■ so I gave up on the idea. 
Plus it would involve far more face to face interaction with truck drivers than I would like or currently have.

Positive input, good idea, and we moan about the quality of the DCPC, but if we just keep accepting rubbish, we will never improve the current situation.
It’s here to stay, so why not make the best of it, the is still so much to teach about the job and somebody with experience and COMMON sense could do a great job.
There is a couple of things to do, speak to the jaupt and find out what the qualification is to be approved, if possible offer yourself to companies who do the training and explain what added value you have to offer.
Or
Make a business plan and start your own free lance training, you have to supply you own JAUPT approved training program, but it could be a job.
We are actualy talking to a company to deliver us the trainer and training in a program where we can find ourselves in.
Good luck

Think I read the cost is about £1300.00
im still fishing for chucking someone a couple of quid and adding my name to a list.
Hello mate. i am a trainer with jaupt. As far as I am aware you need relevant experiance in what you are teaching and that is it. my company insist on ptlls or hire and a c+e.
Jaupt accreditation is £1500 plus £250 per 7 hour session.
You must be a very confident person with strong belief in what you are saying and you need to show you will not take any crap off the drivers. that said if you make a mistake you must be big enough to hold your hands up.
Average wage as freelance would be 100 to 200 per day.
What area are you in and pm me for more info
I save that Money
because
1.) I’ll found to get in Warehouse 1850.- Euro plus Forklift License during a Class 1 Driver is on 1750.- and warehouse Work is either monday 08.00 and finish friday 14.00 or Montay 14.00 and finish Friday 22.00
Anywhy,just Two and a half day off a Week during some Driver struggle to get 45 Hour off
2.) Im on Agency and to train for Supamarked work to get a Tank next day makes no Sence
and
3.) Im too close on Retirement and too long in Business as that there are not other Things more Interesting to me then Work,i have to pay to do it.

I think you need PTLLS L3 which is Preparing to Teach in Lifelong Learning Sector, plus industry competenecy obviously.
If you work for a company they will provide the necessary delivery material, but as others on this forum rightly state you need to have an outgoing personality. You also need stamina - standing in front of up to 20 drivers day after day for 6+ hours.
It would seem that the success of the presentation of the DCPC depends on the trainer - this forum is full of posts against the qualification but once the drivers have had their say in the classroom and start interacting they are calm and collected! Its like any new law - its here to stay. Once the first five modules are completed the qualification card expires five years on, but you need to complete five more modules before it expires. Therefore it will be ongoing and as it is a cash cow it ain’t likely to stop anytime soon!
I have heard that System Training (are they connected with ESL?) are recruiting - you may be able to get qualifications as you work - PTLLS will take about three months.

A letter from a current or former employer stating competency is sufficient for JAUPT according to the forms I saw a couple of years ago
There is an old saying from years ago when the RTITB was forced on the transport industry,which I have no doubt still holds true to this day. " If you can,you do.If you can’t you teach". The bods that went into training jobs in the late 60’s and early 70’s in our area were adequetly summed up by this description !!And as hauliers we were forced to pay a levy/tax on the size of our payroll to support these ■■■■■■■■ when I wouldn’t have let them train white mice given the choice !! Bewick.

I hate that saying. Why can’t I do and teach. i will get 100 to 200 for 7 hours work teaching. on a Sunday I get up to 300 this is working for someone if It is my own course I would earn more. When the work drys up I do and go agencey but have to work longer for less.

You may hate the saying “ldc” but having been a fairly large operator/employer in my time the saying was,never the less true believe me.By the sound of what you say regarding earnings,you’ve got a “captive” audience for unecessary training that has been forced on the industry by legislation and all you’ve done is jump on “gravy train”,best of luck to you mate,but I firmly stand by my views on training both past and present.The RTITB account was always the very last one I paid every financial year ( They had to literally knock it out of me !!) I don’t know if you were around or even remember the RTITB but it was just one massive “gravy train” for the “boys”,diabolical IMHO Bewick.

That’s my plan.
Thanks for the input, guys 
Guess that one will have to go on the back burner - training is no problem, but the start up costs for a part-time gig is not much use to me
