Keeping your team driver CPC compliant
Every commercial driver must have their certificate of professional competence (CPC) and ensuring yours stay compliant is a key part of what we do at Road Skills.
We’ve separated out our driver CPC training into two areas…
- FORS-related driver CPC, principally vulnerable road user awareness training. Find out more here

“We have had drivers tell us of life-saving situations which have been as a result of the training they have received from the Road Skills team. The belief and passion of the Road Skills team is infectious, and their knowledge — all based on proven and tested workshops and courses — fits with the Sandvik ethos of care for its employees, while also meeting our driving at work policies. We have worked with the Road Skills team since 2008 and they always deliver a complete and comprehensive structured driver training programme.”John Carter, Fleet Manager, Sandvik

Paul Nicholas Carter is known as Nick and has had over 30 years in the haulage business as a Director of his own multi-faceted transport company and, as such, had responsibility for finance, compliance and safety. He was one of the very first hauliers to attain FORS in Yorkshire (that is when he met David) and to achieve ISO 9001& 14001. Nick soon realised David’s system for introducing and maintaining FORS within a business was beneficial on so many levels and easy to use for staff training. It also became apparent that FORS gave him a competitive edge in being able to tender for contracts involving deliveries and specialist haulage projects within London.
David launched Road Skills in 1991 after recognising that too many fleet operators were not getting the training and support they needed to operate safely and profitably.
