Belgium Operator CPC (ITLB) · Put your knowledge to work in context.

The Belgian CPC (Certificat de capacité professionnelle / Beroepsbekwaamheid) for road transport operators is the professional-competence credential that a road haulage or passenger-transport undertaking must hold to be authorised to operate in Belgium. It is aimed at owners, directors and transport managers who will be responsible for the commercial and legal conduct of the business, and it is also taken by people preparing to take over or manage such a company. The examination tests the knowledge set harmonised at EU level for access to the occupation: civil and commercial law and social and labour law; business and financial management; access to the market and the rules of the occupation; technical standards and road safety; transport operations and logistics; dangerous goods and special transport; and international transport and customs formalities. Preparation is usually built around the official syllabus and the applicable Belgian and EU legislation, worked through with practice questions and case-style calculations rather than pure memorisation. The Belgium Operator CPC (ITLB) case studies are 5 cases and about 2,558 words.
