Check your CPC status
Many drivers genuinely don't know where they stand on their hours. This is a quick estimate to help you get oriented — DVSA's record is always the authoritative one.

Fill in what you know. The tool tells you roughly how many hours you have left in your current cycle and the date you need to have finished them by. Nothing is sent anywhere — this runs entirely in your browser.
How Driver CPC works, briefly
If you drive professionally with an LGV or PCV licence in Great Britain, you need a Driver CPC. To keep it valid you complete 35 hours of periodic training every 5 years. DVSA records the hours; the qualification card is your DQC. You can do the 35 hours in one go or spread them across the cycle — that part’s up to you.
What counts (and what doesn’t)
Only JAUPT-approved CPC training counts toward your 35 hours. General training, in-house safety briefings, and similar don’t count toward CPC unless they’ve been approved as CPC.
For the definitive rules — including the National vs International CPC distinction, e-learning allowances, and what happens if a cycle lapses — DVSA’s pages are the source of truth. We won’t restate rules here that we can’t guarantee are current.
If you’re behind, or unsure
- Just need to top up? See available courses on the booking page.
- Need a bespoke session built around specific modules or dates? See bespoke courses.
- Cycle ended already, or DQC lapsed? See our Driving Restart page — we coordinate all 35 hours across three months, and the Full Service tier adds personal support and job-search help.
- Not sure? Talk to us — we’d rather help you piece it together than push you into the wrong thing.
