Situated in Drogheda, drivers attending CPC training with Robert Ledwith Training acknowledge the hard work that goes into facilitating quality CPC periodic training to professional drivers by providing very positive feedback through the RSA’s training evaluation scheme.

The ‘CPC Trainer of the Year’ award winner is Sean Cusack.
Sean has been selected as CPC Trainer of the Year following excellent feedback from drivers attending his training sessions.
Effective CPC trainers need to engage with drivers, recognise their experience and expertise and to use them as a resource to help ensure key road safety messages are taken on board. Engaging with those experienced drivers can be both fulfilling and challenging at times but Sean who has been an approved trainer since 2010 continuously demonstrates a real flair for doing just that.
