NVQ.
« on: 07 May 2009, 22:05:23 »
Yes if you're HGV positive you now have to hold one for your licence not to expire next Sept. After 2 saturday mornings "school" & paperwork i had an accessor riding shotgun with me today, (Burnley & empty back) & about 2 hrs of paperwork & Q&A. This & my ADR counts towards my CPC should i choose to persue it.
   Just a word of warning to those holding an HGV but not using it at the mo. it will expire in sept 2010 if you don't gain the NVQ.
     I'm awaiting my certificate. ::)

Thinking more on this, how can they say you have to have an nvq to drive a truck, it's a driving licence that is required.  Educational qualifications I have in other area's........ :)

They are trying the same thing in the taxi trade......
Iirc one council revoked over 60 licenses for drivers not having the qualification......then soon gave them back when it discovered it didnt have enough cab drivers fri/sat nights.  ::)
Another council was taken to court for revoking licenses and was ordered to give them back on the grounds of preventing the cabbies from earning a living.

I personally refuse to do the nvq.....from what i can see, utter waste of time......ok maybe a 'pointer' for new drivers, but if you've being doing the job for a while, it doesnt teach you anything you dont already know.

As some of you have stated it's invent a job or what i call a "non job". I'm fully aware of load security, axle weights, hazard perception blah de blah but it's compulsory to hold an NVQ or your HGV will be void sept 2010 & you'll have to start again which going by current standards will involve a Uni course by then. The difference between this & a Hackney Carriage Licence (i've held one) is your local council issue these. With HGV VOSA (or the ministry of transport) are involved. You don't have the option not to do it, you'll be back to a car licence.
   Bertie. As regards the 7.5 t i don't know. It depends when you passed your car test. Did you take a seperate 7.5 test or do you have a 7.5 t entitlement on your licence?

Agreed, been talking to a couple of HGV drivers today, older guys and they were not aware of the impending loss of licence.... :) Brother and sister in law both hold HGV, sister in law recently, for their Horse Box. There is no organisation that oversees such use of HGV, other than DVLA :)
