At Robinson Training services we do what is called a Dual Purpose course, this means when you sit a 7-hour day session with us & it will be valid for all license types that you hold, if you are renewing or if you hold acquired rights on your license. Acquired Rights, also known as grandfather rights, means that if your car license was obtained before 1997, you will also have a 7.5tonne license allowing you to complete the 35 hour period training. If you received your HGV Licence prior to 2008, you will also be able to do periodic training even if this is your first time holding a CPC.If you are still unsure which CPC training in Kent you need or would like any information please either call us on 01708868038 or fill out our Contact Form.
