The Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (DCPC) is a qualification that professional drivers of certain goods or passenger carrying vehicles must hold in addition to their driving licence. This was introduced by EU legislation. Last year the Department for Transport sought views on proposed changes to the DCPC for drivers in the United Kingdom.

Following this consultation the Department for Transport announced that it would bring forward legislation to:?

  1. halve the minimum course length from 7 hours down to 3.5 hours

  2. decouple e-learning from trainer-led courses

  3. encourage more flexibility in end of module assessments?

  4. introduce an accelerated pathway for returning drivers
