CPC (Certificate of Professional Competence) training is a legal requirement for drivers who drive trucks or buses professionally. It ensures that drivers are well-prepared, knowledgeable, and equipped to handle their responsibilities safely and efficiently.

Why is CPC Training Important? Safety First: CPC training emphasises safety practices, risk management, and accident prevention. Well-trained drivers contribute to safer and more environmentally friendly driving.

Legal Requirement: In many countries, including Ireland, holding a valid Driver CPC card is mandatory for professional drivers of vehicles over 3.5 tonnes.

Enhanced Skills: CPC training covers various aspects, including road safety, health, and environmental awareness. It enhances drivers’ skills and knowledge.

What Does CPC Training Involve? CPC training consists of several modules, each lasting a minimum of seven and a half hours including breaks. All professional bus or truck drivers must complete a minimum of five modules or six modules if you hold both bus and truck licenses. 

Periodic Training: Over a five-year cycle, professional drivers must complete a minimum of thirty five hours training or forty two hours if driving both bus and truck. 

Benefits of CPC Training: Drivers enhance their existing skills to handle their vehicles safely, efficiently and in a courteous manner.
