The DSA has been considering industry requests for all or part of dangerous goods training be allowed to count towards the 35 hours of Periodic Training.
It has been decided that:
Up to a maximum of 21 hours of the initial basic course can be approved for Periodic Training.
7 hours of the core module refresher course can be approved for Periodic Training.
The specialist modules that are delivered outside of the initial basic course will not be accepted for Periodic Training as it is considered the syllabi for these modules are too specialist and do not map readily across to the Driver CPC syllabus.
Training centres and courses will need to be approved in line with the regulations. Existing centre and course approval fees will be applied, although these will be included in the overall review of periodic training fees that DSA committed to undertake at the Stakeholder Group meeting on 27 October.
The 3 1/2 Day training course will cover classes 2-6, 8 & 9. The 5 day course will cover Core, Packages & Tanks, however will only count towards 21 hours of Periodic Training.
