What is Driver CPC training?

CPC stands for certificate of professional competence. This certificate was introduced back in September 2013 and mandated that every professional driver must carry a professional Driver CPC card. From 2014 onwards it’s been deemed illegal for any professional driver to drive a bus, coach or truck without a Driver CPC card.
Driver CPC training is the course that professional drivers need to complete to receive their driver CPC card. Driver CPC training is not just for Irish drivers. A driver CPC card is a Europe wide professional driver requirement.

Why is Driver CPC Training Important?
