Online PVC Training

“Pre-vehicle check” or “PVC” training for HGV drivers provides instruction and guidance on conducting thorough inspections of vehicles before starting a journey.

This training ensures you are equipped with the knowledge and skills to identify any potential issues or defects that may affect the safe operation of heavy goods vehicles (HGVs).

During pre-vehicle checks, you will typically inspect various components of the HGV, including brakes, lights, tyres, fluid levels, mirrors, and other essential systems.

PVC training emphasises the importance of conducting these checks systematically and in accordance with industry standards and legal requirements.

By undergoing PVC training, you will be better equipped to identify and report any faults or defects promptly, helping to prevent accidents, breakdowns, and ensure road safety.

PVC training will help you to comply with Government regulations and maintain the overall reliability and roadworthiness of the HGV you are driving.

As a professional HGV driver, you must undertake initial PVC training and refresher training every year (CPD).

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for HGV drivers refers to the ongoing training and education you undertake to enhance your skills and knowledge throughout your career.

CPD can include attending workshops, seminars, and conferences, completing refresher courses, staying updated with industry regulations, and engaging in self-directed learning.

CPD helps you stay informed about advancements in technology, changes in regulations, and best practices in the industry, enabling you to maintain and improve your professional competence as a HGV driver.
