Don’t take my word for this but I’m reasonably sure you cannot roll-over training time to the next 5 year period.
what if i slip the dcpc instructor a tenner and tell him to upload the 7 hours in the year 2017

might work but
Nope - definitly doesn’t accumulate or roll over. Do anymore than 35 hours and it’ll make no difference.
what a bummer in the summer 
Yep, I’ve also done 42hrs - waste of a days training cost - and then did my ADR and saved the upload fees as it’d have just been throwing money away.
You don’t have to get all the hours uploaded, so just get the ones you need uploaded and then save the upload fees on the excess - usually around £20 per day depending on provider.
yeh i know mate i’m just going to ask for 14 hrs to be uploaded of my adr … no point paying extra for nowt … if u know wat i mean.

I say yes 
As you have your 5 Modules done with another 14 Hour you will start with your 5x7 hour for your next DCPC which gives you Time 5 year to do it and i dont think its illegal to start with the first 7 hour one Day after you have completed your DCPC 35 Hour. 
I Think (?)
but better ask your Trainer there. because its your Time&Money
There is a very simple rule for the DCPC hours timeframe
For the hours to count they must be within the 5 years prior to the expiry date on the DQC (driver cpc card)
The one exception is for PCV & LGV aquired right holders where they have 6 years from 09/09/2013 to 09/09/2019 as the PCV was started one year earlier than LGV so to bring them all into line this is a one off thing
What is the position of mix and match training? I like many, hold HGV and PSV and it would certainly be more interesting and relevant to do certain modules from the ‘other’ course. I know only have to do 5 modules altogether, but is double registration etc likely to either cause a problem or be a lot more expensive?

If you have both entitlements on your licence you can do DCPC courses for ‘either side’ and they count for both.
I have a Drivers Hours course that is registered to deliver to both Cat C and Cat D. I can have coach/bus & HGV drivers in the same room - it’s crazy. The EU Rules don’t differ much for PCV/PSV but the domestic rules are way different. I’ll certainly never mix licence types in a classroom again after I tried it once - chaos.
SO if you book yourself on a PCV only course - it’ll count for your HGV
Thanks for that. It is the differences, exemptions and trying to observe both sets of rules that cause the headache especially if a working week may occasionally combine non driving job, domestic PSV and EU HGV. Hence one reason for wanting to mix courses.

I may be wrong (often am) but I thought if you did work on EU rules, you had to finish the week on EU rules?
This could be a MMTM though as it was 2001 and I was doing odd ‘coach work’ whilst driving a bus for a living and sometimes I think they just want a reason to complain

If you do some work on domestic driving then do any part of that week on EU ( tacho ) you have to comply with the EU rules
This is why the GV262 has both sets in

Let me get this right;
if you have acquired rights and don’t need to do your 35 hours until the latest September 2014 but do your 35 hours say this year….then your dcpc card will only last 5 years from this year…
Therefore will it not be advantageous to wait and do the hours as near to sept 2014 as possible to save money…. Or do the last 7 hours in that week.
Am I correct here?

No that’s not correct, if you completed the 35 hours training this year you would be good to go until September 2019.
Those with DCPC aquired/grandfather rights have a GHOST DQC (driver cpc card) which is expiry dated 09/09/2014
Completing 35 hours of periodic training AT ANY TIME within the 5 years of the current DQC expiry date adds another 5 years onto that expiry date.
That goes for anyone with an actual or ghost DQC
