Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (Driver CPC)
What is Driver CPC?
Driver CPC is a Certificate of Professional Competence for professional bus drivers (categories D1, D1E, D and DE) and professional truck drivers (categories C1, C1E, C and CE).
Equivalent licences are D1, ED1, D, ED, C1, EC1, C and EC.
Driver CPC was introduced across the EU in 2008 for professional bus drivers and in 2009 for professional truck drivers. The three key aims are to: ensure that all professional drivers have good driving and safety standards and that those standards are maintained throughout their career; create a common standard for the training and testing of drivers throughout the EU; and reduce fatalities and serious injuries on Irish and European roads.
