Can you do CPC online? Yes, Driver CPC courses can now be attended remotely. The courses are accredited and the hours registered in exactly the same way as a classroom course.
Update: (Since publishing this article, we’ve had more drivers asking, “Can you do CPC online?”—mainly due to confusion around recent government guidance. The government allows a maximum of 12 hours of non-instructor-led online CPC training (such as self-paced quizzes or videos). This is also confusing A.I. search summaries, which are giving people wrong information. All our courses are instructor-led and delivered live via Zoom, which classifies them as “remote” training, not “online” in the limited sense. There’s no limit to how many hours you can complete “remotely”. Our remote courses are registered the same way as classroom sessions, and you can do the full 35 hours with us remotely.)
Remote CPC Online Training
In response to the COVID restrictions, many types of training that would normally be delivered in the classroom were allowed to be delivered remotely on video-sharing platforms like Zoom for the very first time. This included Driver CPC. It was intended to be a temporary measure at the time, but there’s now no indication that remote sessions will be discontinued.
This has helped to greatly reduce the cost of training for Drivers, as well as saving travel time and expenses. In general the response to the online courses has been positive, and many drivers prefer it over the classroom option.
Despite many Drivers asking “Can you do CPC online?” and being sceptical of attending online, and unsure of their own tech ability, a huge 94% of Drivers who attend our courses leave feedback that they actually preferred the online format!
The courses are still live sessions run at set times, and Drivers do still need to be available for the full duration (unfortunately, a ridiculous 7 hours, which is out of our control). A device with a camera and a stable internet connection is required, and attendees will need to remain visible throughout the course and be expected to interact.
Remote courses aren’t just a cheap box tick either! For Drivers who genuinely want to get something from the course, the distraction-free environment when doing CPC online works really well. Remote course delivery is actually helping to raise the bar in the quality of course content, as it’s easier to keep attendees on track with the relevant subjects.

The majority of Drivers who attend our courses have never attended remote training before and are initially very sceptical. The first thing that they find surprising is how easy it is to join the meeting and get logged on. It’s literally just like making a phone call, and since 2021, we have NEVER had a single Driver who couldn’t complete a course due to a lack of computer ability! So can YOU do cpc online? Absolutely.
Remote training in all industries is likely here to stay, and those that don’t at least give it a try will likely find themselves wasting time and money on services that they perhaps mistakenly believe are better.
