They're going to make a killing.We had them in our office in February checking all our driver CPC is up to date, they were decent to be fair, but then we were all up to date. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoversMad Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Also the driver CPC is a PTTGOYN. It's pointless. You can do the same 7hour course (ie. First Aid) 5 times & you're good to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoversMad Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 It also instantly puts all those "semi-retired" guys who had a licence that you could call on to cover a shift now and again straight out of work, it's not worth it for them to put themselves through the CPC, & it's not worth it for any employer to pay either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
