Got 28hrs DCPC under my belt by doing ADR training, and so tomorrow (Monday), I’ve got the final 7 hours to do to make it up to 35 hours…
After that, just when can I start driving commercial again?
Straight away, or do I have to wait for the actual card to arrive and be in my possession?
Straight away. Best to carry your attendance certificates just in case of a stop. You should get your card by the end of the week - all things being equal.

Are you not ignoring the agency or HR issue? 

I suspect a lot of people would be happier if you had the card, and it might be better to keep your powder dry for a week.
However, I’d be happy to be proved too cynical on that tick in the box…

Best news I’ve heard in 3 weeks…
Legally = immediately
Realistically = wait for DQC
