About CPD Academy
CPD Academy was born out of a critical discussion in 2012, when industry professionals gathered to address the growing concern over the shortage of suitably qualified drivers. Initially functioning as a training centre, CPD Academy was conceptualized in response to two main challenges: older drivers struggling to pass psychometric assessments due to limited computer literacy, and younger drivers lacking the experience required to secure employment. While there was debate over whether these assessments were fair, all parties agreed that safety and competence behind the wheel were non-negotiable.
To understand industry needs, CPD Academy consulted a wide range of stakeholders, including transport companies, insurers, and financial institutions. These consultations revealed a daunting set of standards for new drivers: they needed to be over 25 years old, have held a license for at least three years, and possess a minimum of three years’ experience operating specific truck brands. The academy’s findings were further reinforced through a practical experiment, which showed that a candidate could obtain a Code 14 license in just five hours—without learning essential safety protocols like using a retarder or stopping at a weighbridge.
