W11ATEVER potential changes in transport regulations are discussed, the need to possess a Certificate of Professional Competence remains crucial. And while the CPC is a necessary qualification, it is not as difficult to obtain as some people believe. There is no need to be a scholar, but you must be prepared to spend time reading essential information and remember a large number of facts. Written answers are not required in the examination, as all the questions arc of the multiple-choice type.
C.11/RTCC home-study packs contain everything you need to know in order to pass the Royal Society of Arts examination. Exams arc held four times a year at centres throughout the UK.

Two mock examinations, very similar to the real thing, are included in each pack. They are marked and assessed when returned.
Students are allocated to one of two experienced tutors, Eddie Pargeter and frank Lewsey, who arc ready to give • advice by letter or phone (Witney 3481).
