Due to the current restrictions of the coronavirus outbreak, we are not able to run the June 2020 CPC tests. We are looking to offer another assessment opportunity when it is safe to do so. Coronavirus has led to the closure of many centres and the safety of CPC candidates and staff at CPC centres is paramount.

Our approach to the June series has been informed and supported by a number of centres and by stakeholders such as the Department for Transport and the Traffic Commissioners. We have also discussed the options for CPC tests in June with our regulators in line with Ofqual’s recent consultation. This announcement is subject to the results of this consultation, which are due towards the end of May. The next scheduled assessment opportunities are 11 September 2020 and 4 December 2020 and we will be in touch about these nearer the time.

CPC is an important and valued qualification and we recognise the need to support the transport industry at this difficult time. However, we want to work with you to put safety first.

We continue to keep a close watch on government announcements, as well as the outcome of the Ofqual VTQ consultation, and will keep you regularly updated with our next steps.
