Latest figures have been released by the Driving Standards Agency on the Driver CPC uptake in the UK, and it shows that currently there are 474658 active users of the Driver CPC training. This means that, since 2008 when the qualification was introduced, between 60 to 70 per cent of the UK professional driver population have started their professional qualification.
Driver CPC in 2011
moreThere have been a significant number of drivers who have engaged with the Driver CPC training in the 2011. From the previous year worrying figures of just around quarter having started their qualification, 2011 has seen training figures creeping up to 300 000 drivers completing at least 7 hours of their training. This shows that the industry should have a sufficient number of workforce available; taking into account that the demand for the Driver CPC will be just increasing approaching 2014.
This positive trend could be as a result of many warnings that have been issued during the past year, as well as a response to the issue by the haulage and logistics firms who have picked up on training their drivers themselves.
Overall, there have been over 64 000 Driver CPC Qualification cards issued to date, with yearly numbers doubling-up from year to year.
