Introduction to Driver CPC Return to Driving

A 7-hour refresher course designed for drivers whose Driver Qualification Card (DQC) expired between 60 days and 2 years ago. It allows drivers to regain their CPC quickly without completing the full 35 hours of periodic training upfront.

Why was it introduced?
