The course is designed for any individual who holds a full car licence and wishes to work as a professional bus or truck driver. It is a legal requirement that all new drivers of C1, C1E, C and CE vehicles (trucks) and D1, D1E, D and DE vehicles (buses) complete Driver CPC training and pass a theory and driving test with the Road Safety Authority according to European Communities Regulations. Where a person wishes to take out a learner permit or a driving licence in categories C, CE, under 21 years or D, DE under 24 years, then they must complete CPC even where they do not wish to drive professionally.
