ALL OPERATORS need to hold a Certificate of Professional Competence — or have at least one of their staff pass the CPC examination. For hire or reward hauliers, for example, this means one CPC holder at each operating depot.
Now, for the first time, Commercial Motor, in conjunction with Transport Driver Training (Esher) Ltd, is offering you the opportunity to study for your Certificate of Professional Competence in Road Haulage (National) by joining a home study course. The cost: £93 including vat.
The CPC is vital — but a lot of people are failing the Royal Society of Arts exam. In 1979 the RSA exam was taken by 12,865 persons — and 5,460 failed it.
