Can periodic training be carried out flexibly over several weeks, months or years?
Retraining must take place once every five years. The driver has flexibility as to how he / she takes the 35 hours training over this time, providing it occurs in blocks of at least seven hours at one time. So, for example, a driver may complete two days in the first year and the final three days in the fifth year. Similarly they could leave all 35 hours until the fifth year. The retraining must be completed every five years until such times as the person no longer wishes to drive category C (LGV) or D (PCV) vehicles professionally.
