This training concentrated on very important first aid and it was an interactive session with the staff having plenty of opportunity to get involved. As you can see in the photos we saw some great acting among the staff.

What is CPC?

CPC is training that drivers must do to keep their license. You must do 35 hours of periodic training every 5 years to keep your Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) to drive a lorry, bus or coach.

These sessions vary in content and we ensure all our drivers have ample opportunity to attend CPC training at Ferryman. An external trainer comes in to go through the essentials.

The feedback from the drivers after this session was very positive:
‘It was a good laugh and welearnt some valuable information, it was brilliant’ – Ashley Kirkpatrick.

Thanks to the trainers for taking the session & to Ash The Trucker for catching these moments!

We extended our original small training room to create a conference/boarding room style training centre above our Ferryman HQ offices. We have kitted it out with training resources and a interactive screen for presentations and training sessions.

This screen is suitable for trainers to take courses and plenty of seating and desk workspace.

We also wanted to give the room some added identity and character. We strongly believe in using local help where possible, and we used a locally based graffiti artist ‘Walls by Paul‘ to create a piece of artwork for the room. Check out below the fabulous work he did using graffiti to paint our flagship vehicles and logo to give the space needed colour and identity.

We now can cater for our staff CPC training on site. Currently we have had a few sessions run on the weekend for our drivers to attend with an external trainer.

However, we are looking to extend our training offerings. Our office staff member and ex Class 1 driver Paul has just completed a driver assessor training course with RHA and passed with flying colours. He will now be rolling the training out with all our drivers. It will be part practical out on the road and part class based and we will be creating a continuous training plan for all staff. The emphasis of the training on safety, awareness, and fuel efficiency. 

In the near future we will be looking to extend our training offerings to our own staff and external applicants. Covering a range of topics and areas of haulage and warehousing.

Keep your eyes peeled for training opportunities here at Ferryman Limited.
