Right, ive gone for a job Tipper driving. Spoke to the boss today and possibly got an interview towards the end of the week.

He sead i need an epic card. So im looking to do an online course if possible. Mainly so i can get on with it and get the card as soon as possible.
Weather i get the job or not, tipper driving is what i want to do so want to be armed and ready.

Any companies you can reccomend?

Cheers Rich

It’s not called an EPIC card these days, it’s an MPQC
Costs about £100 to do online (last time I checked it out) should get you seven hours of DCPC.

Thanks Zac-A
Booked in for a webinar next Saturday. The job i was going for has fallen through as the driver that left who i was going to replace has asked for his old job back. Grass is greener and all that i guess.

Anyway, i have a job so what will be will be.

Is there any literature that i can read up on, books or online etc?

Not confident in staring at a screen for 7 hours solid then doing an exam. Had a look online and cant fund anything. Would rather go into it with confidence.

According to everyone I’ve ever spoken to about it who has done the course, it’s really basic H&S stuff. One guy said: “Boring as … worst 7 hours of DCPC hours ever”. Containing sage wisdom like “don’t stand at the rear of a vehicle when it is tipping” :unamused:

It’s a racket really, only people who are in the “MPQC Club” are allowed to deliver it, and that is a bit of an old fashioned “closed shop” if you’re familiar with that expression from the 60s and 70s. Even FORS are open to letting a wide variety of people deliver their courses, so it’s really saying something to be called worse than FORS.

Great. Basic stuff then.
I need another course at the moment like a hole in the head. Buta cant go looking for a job without it.
