Hi Bluefish

Have you taken in to account the need for CPC (certificate of professional competence)that all drivers must have by 2014 ?

A course of 7 modules must be taken between now and 2014.

isnt it 5 modules total 35 hrs gjdart
and i stand corrected on the 2014 i thought it was 2013

Sorry ..it's me that stands corrected :-[ I knew it was something like that...lol!

Wish I could have gotten away with being just one of the old boys when I had my recent training for 2079 refrigerant handling , a job I have been doing for around 20 years and because of new regulation theoretically I was working illegally , yet snot nosed apprentices who had the qualification where supposedly more qualified than me without any practical experience .. how the hell does that work

storm its always like that site managers that have never managed anything

transport managers that have never been on the road and its the same everywhere they come out of school do micky mouse courses 2 weeks training and then they can out do you
wont be long before something major happens because unlike you they dont have the experience

years ago an apprentice had to serve at least 5 years alongside someone qualified and day release to the local college before they were let loose on anything

you just had me worried thinking i had more to do gj
its bad enough giving up the odd saturday as it is. oh and it does count towards our 48hr working time directive that we are not allowed to opt out of

aye , at least in our trade they still have to do a minimum 3 years NVQ ( Not Very(good) Qualifications)

NVQ's in a trade discipline are a joke IMO

Cheers guys, so what happens if you don't do the cpc by sept 2014, I guess you then can't drive, so you take it and have to do the test, multiple choice no doubt easy peasy

Oh sorry, forgot to say this in the op, most of the reson for wondering what to do was because i would have had to do the medical and get it all sent off pretty quickly, they say it takes 3 weeks to get the liscence back, maybe, maybe not, and i need it for going on holiday in 5 weeks time, so not a lot of leeway there, and i'm not missing the holiday for anything, wife would kill me
