Driver CPC Consortium FAQs

With our Driver CPC Consortium FAQs page, you should find all the answers to your questions.

What is a driver CPC consortium?

A driver CPC consortium is an easy alternative way for a training provider to deliver driver CPC training. We provide the opportunity for those who would like to deliver Driver CPC training but would prefer not to set up a training centre in their own right. By becoming a member of our consortium you can teach Periodic Driver CPC training with all the benefits of being a fully registered training centre with JAUPT, just operating under the umbrella of TMconsultant.

Why join the TMconsultant Driver CPC Consortium?

By joining our consortium, provides us with the opportunity to expand our business through partnerships with like-minded individuals who share our aims and passions. We're always on hand to answer your questions and offer advice and support. We supply all the necessary tools and course materials you will need to get going and our presentations are simple and easy to use. You can even advertise your scheduled courses on our website!

Who is the Driver CPC Consortium for?

  • Transport managers
  • Freelance trainers
  • Professional Drivers
  • Training Providers
  • Driving Instructors

What qualifications do I need?

You will need to demonstrate you have the necessary qualifications/experience to teach and for the subject knowledge for the courses you wish to deliver. So, if you are a Transport Manager you will need to provide your TM CPC certificate and any relevant teaching qualifications/experience you have. It may be you have the subject knowledge experience but may not have the teaching qualification. If that's the case then you can sit a 'train the trainer course' which if passed will be adequate for Driver CPC delivery. If you are unsure, just ask.
