CPC Driver
Certification
Driving buses,
coaches, and trucks is becoming more difficult as the
industry continues to acquire more and more regulation.
Regardless, what is CPC certification is something many
experienced truckers, especially, might not know about as
it’s a new qualification recently implemented and enforced
by a European Union directive. |

What is CPC
The CPC qualification (Certificate of Professional
Competence) is a qualification brought to bear by a recent
European Union directive. The reasoning behind it is to make
sure only those who are highly skilled can drive heavy-duty
vehicles. Primarily, it’s to increase safety in the industry
and on the roads. People who don’t keep their skills current
are much more likely to suffer from some form of road
traffic accident. Professional drivers continually develop
their skills and maintain them at their highest levels at
all times by being forced to enter training courses every
five years. |

Who Doesn’t
Need It?
There are some exceptions for drivers of these heavy-duty
vehicles, though. The main exceptions for drivers who aren’t
required to hold the CPC qualification is listed below:
- If the
vehicle the driver is driving doesn’t go over 45
kilometres per hour.
- If the
vehicle is responsible for maintaining public order,
such as fire engines and military vehicles.
- If
someone uses a vehicle to complete a rescue mission.
- Is used
as a learner vehicle for people who are studying for
their CPC qualification.
- Is not
used in a professional capacity, such as for carrying
passengers.
