No we are not talking about Cost Per Click requirements in regards to Google, we are in fact talking about the Certificate of Professional Competence for Truck Drivers. The government introduced this requirement from September 2009 but it seems that its possible there are still thousands of lorry drivers still out there which have not taken the level of training required.

There are situations where a CPC is not required for example, if you are driving a vehicle for personal use rather than non-commercial carriage of passenders or goods or if the truck/lorry is being road tested after a repair. There are other instances where a CPC is not required but in most cases of commercial use of a LGV (large goods vehicle), the driver will require a CPC.

In order to keep the CPC, the driver must have 35 hours of training under their belt every 5 years. A driver could satisfy this requirement by undertaking 7 hours of training each year.
