Training & Development - Wright Staff

CPC Periodic Training

All HGV drivers must undertake 35 hours of training in every five year period. The minimum length of a training course that contributes to the Periodic Training requirement is 7 hours. This can be delivered as one 7 hour course or two 3½ hour courses delivered within a 24 hour period.

With approximately 1,000,000 drivers in the UK affected, it is estimated that if drivers leave their periodic training until close to the deadlines, there will not be sufficient training provision available to provide everyone with the required periodic training. Employers need to start putting their drivers through their periodic training now. Employers releasing drivers for 1 to 2 days a year ahead of the deadline will have less impact on the operations of their business.

Wright Training can book drivers usually within 48hrs for online courses. Please contact a member of our team.

Ian - Operations Manager

I signed on to Wright Staff a year ago, after frustrating experiences with other driving agencies. I have always found them to be professional and understanding. If you are looking for an agency to represent and sell you in the market place then sign up. I have constantly been in work, even during challenging times. Thank you to the Wright Staff team.

Craig Wooley - 7.5t Driver

I signed with Wright Staff just before lockdown, this proved to be a great move as they found me work when others couldn’t (in a very difficult time). I would recommend Wright Staff to any driver in need of work, they have a professional approach and will try to help you find your perfect placement. The staff are friendly and will try to accommodate any time you need off. A truly professional outfit.

John Day - Class 2 Driver

Worked for Wright Staff for around 4 years on and off and they are by far the best agency around. No false promises for work and the pay is always correct and on-time unlike a lot of agencies. Give the guys a call and they will keep you busy in work.
