You need to include:
• your UK driving licence number

• an EU country

• Isle of Man

From then on, after doing 35 hours of periodic training in the UK, you’ll get your Driver CPC qualification for 5 years.
Exchanging your driving licence for a UK licence
You can get a UK Driver CPC card if you exchange your non-UK country or EU member state driving licence for a UK licence.
Your Driver CPC qualification will still last until the date it was due to run out when you first got it.
When you exchange your licence, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) will tell DVSA for you.
If you already have a Driver CPC card
You’ll need to send your Driver CPC card to DVSA if you already have one. You’ll need to include your driving licence number in a short letter.
