Hi, I am looking for some clarification that I can do my CPC before I take the C licence.
I have the grandfather C1 on my licence and have my provisional C am I ok doing 5 days CPC online to gain my CPC card? Then I could start driving as soon as I pass my C test. (probably with Peter)
And with a Taco card I would be good to do 7.5t work straight away?
Thanks Richard

Yes, you’re good to go with driver cpc. Your choice of online or “real”.
If you had a tacho card, you could drive 7.5t once you’ve completed your driver cpc.
Hope this helps, Pete 
Thanks Pete will get it done and be in touch when I can get over to you.

Hi - just to ask a question on this - can you apply for a digital tacho card before getting qualified ?
Riddlemethis:

YES - anyone with a basic car licence can get one
This is because it is possible to have say a 3.5 tonne van towing a 750kg MAM trailer commercially which, unless an exemption applies, comes into EU tacho regs

Thanks for this - on your advice i applied and got one…just a few more things to get out of the way.
it seems all a bit unecessarily complicated !
Haha - just to keep you on your toes!!
