NEW DRIVER CPC – 30,000 DRIVERS TRAINED

CPC.IE, Ireland’s CPC specialists have now trained over 30,000 drivers in their “nationally acclaimed” Driver and Transport Management CPC (Certificate of Professional Competence) Courses. CPC.IE has been delivering Transport Training Courses for 25 years at 30 venues throughout the country.

All professional Truck and Bus drivers must now attend a one day training course per year and according to Tony Hynes of CPC.IE, whilst a lot of drivers were hesitant and sceptical about the course initially, the feedback has been brilliant. The drivers who have attended the Driver CPC modules with CPC.IE are extremely enthusiastic about the course and have praised the practicality of the content. In the current economic environment operators have been very impressed with the cost savings which can be applied to the bottom line. Others, because of the relevance of the subject matter, have even attended the course even though they are not obliged to.

CPC.IE have been inundated with enquiries from the haulage and passenger industry for the Driver CPC course and this should be seen an excellent reflection on the industry and on how positively the training is being received. “This training is a win/win situation for everyone concerned and most importantly will promote excellence in road safety and accident prevention” according to Tony Hynes of CPC.IE.  

CPC TRAINING COMPANY SAVING LIVES 

CPC.IE (based in Tralee) is currently airing a new unique TV programme, “Driving For Living”, on City Channel to find Ireland’s Most Professional Driver. Concept originator Tony Hynes of CPC.IE explains that this is the first time a reality TV programme of this kind has ever been undertaken. Hundreds of applicants were reduced to just three and each driver must undertake four tasks related to driving a heavy goods vehicle. These tasks include driving skills, health and Safety, eco-driving and vehicle checks and each driver was awarded marks for each task by judges in the industry.
