Belgium CPC Code 95 case studies
Belgium CPC Code 95 · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Belgian Code 95 certificate - the Certificat de Capacité Professionnelle or Vakbekwaamheidscertificaat - is the evidence that a professional lorry or bus driver has completed the EU Driver CPC training required to drive commercially in Belgium and across the Union. It is aimed at drivers of goods vehicles and passenger vehicles who fall within the scope of the EU Driver CPC Directive, and it is normally obtained either through periodic training (35 hours per five-year cycle) or through the initial qualification route, which for many candidates involves sitting an examination covering the five syllabus areas: rational driving, regulations and tachograph rules, health and safety, vehicle mechanics and cargo, and emergency response. The Belgium CPC Code 95 case studies are 5 cases and about 2,109 words.
