Training & Development

Wright Staff are supported by Wright Training to provide our temporary staff and clients with the training resources needed to stay legal and upskill in the workplace. We have access to many training networks that allow us to provide a service that really takes the stress out of keeping a transport workforce legal and up to date.

The transport world is changing very fast. New legislations are replacing traditional work methods with new form of work techniques which requires new types of skills. In this changing world, driver training is very essential for upskilling of not only the skills of the employee, but also of the organisation. Employees training and development programs are the part of good management practices and good risk management strategies. Therefore, both employers and employees have responsibility for improving skills. CPC periodic training is very essential for every transport organisation. Training is a continuous and never ending process and Wright Training are on hand to help.

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.

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.

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.

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.
