Normally courses are held in our classrooms at one of our depots across the South Coast. However due to social distancing requirements, we now have the opportunity to deliver our courses virtually.

Students will need to have access to either a laptop, computer, phone or tablet that has a camera, microphone and a steady reliable internet access.
Once students have enrolled on the course they will be sent guidelines of how to set-up, install and use Zoom. This will allow students to see and hear our course instructor deliver the course. This will also ensure we are able to see students.
If time and attention is not being given to the course by the participant the instructor reserves the right to remove them from the course and no DCPC hours will be accredited.
Before the course starts you will need to provide us with your driving licence number and once the course is complete we will log your CPC hours as normally.
