"Site Induction" DCPC

alamcculloch:
That looks like a good deal to me,and you have turned your nose up at it.The offer of 7 hours DCPC for £50.00 is better than most are getting.

I take your point.

If I just want to get my 35 regardless of training quality it is a good deal. (Of course assuming it is JAUPT approved and all legit which I’ve no doubt it is.)

To be clear, I can’t really say they are outright charging me to work.
The induction is mandatory… and they throw in a good deal on racking up some DCPC hours.

But are they doing me a favour?

Many agencies put drivers through the DCPC FREE!

Looooo:

Have a look at my last post… first letter of each line.

I was trying to be a smart arse. :smiley:

If you don’t drive on public roads you don’t need to do the DCPC.

Well not unless the company have their own in-house rules about it anyway.

tachograph:
They want you to pay £50 to do a site induction, DCPC approved or not that’s appalling :open_mouth:

I agree with DrivingMissDaisy, they should be named and shamed.

Agreed entirely.

But not really worse than those than think you should offer your services for free for a week ‘just to train up a bit’. Just that the method here is less subtle.

I must say, I can’t see anyone taking it up… Ahem. :unamused:
