Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) Course

Basic Course

The Certificate of Professional Competence is one of the requirements for holding a Commercial Vehicle Operator's Licence. This Course prepares Candidates for the OCR Examinations to obtain the CPC for National and International Freight operations.

The examinations are held each quarter, and have recently included "Case Studies", which need special preparation. For this reason, it is best to do the National Course first, and then the International separately in the next quarter. The Courses are intensive, and Candidates must be prepared to undertake revision work each evening and at the weekend.
