How will periodic training hours be monitored?
In the UK (including Northern Ireland) a central record of periodic training undertaken by drivers will be held by the DSA using the Driver CPC Management System DVA will also use this system. This database will be used to record the number of hours of periodic training completed by drivers and ensure a new Driver Qualification Card is issued automatically to Northern Ireland licence holders when they have completed their 35 hours of periodic training without the need for them to apply. Non Northern Ireland licence holders will be required to apply for the DQC.
