CPC certifying periodic training — Article 8 Members States issue the CPC to drivers who have completed the periodic training. The periodic training must be taken by new drivers within five years after obtaining the CPC for initial qualification, and by drivers who hold acquired rights, following the timetable set by their Member States. The Directive exempts from the requirement to obtain the initial qualification any drivers who hold a category D driving licence issued before September 2008 and drivers who hold a category C driving licence issued before September 2009. For drivers with such acquired rights, Member States have adopted national timetables for completing the first course of periodic training by the deadline of 2015 (category D driving licence) and 2016 (category C driving licence). Mutual recognition of the transitional periods decided by the Member States has been agreed21. Accordingly, until the deadline of 2015 (vehicle category D) and 2016 (vehicle category C), drivers cannot be penalised in any Member State for not having completed the periodic training. Member States have chosen different criteria to establish their national timetables for the periodic training of drivers holding acquired rights. These can be based for instance on the date on which the driving licence was issued, on the driver’s birthday, on the driving licence expiry date, on the age of the driver, or on the driving licence number. National timetables are included in the Annex.
