Frequently asked CPC questions

Who needs a Driver CPC?

All professional bus, lorry, and coach drivers in Ireland must have a valid and up-to-date Driver CPC. This applies to both new and experienced drivers. The Certificate of Professional Competence ensures that drivers are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to handle commercial vehicles safely on Irish and European roads. Attending a CPC course is essential for maintaining these standards, and there are CPC courses in Cavan available for those seeking local training options.

What is the Driver CPC?

The Driver Certificate of Professional Competence is a qualification aimed at enhancing road safety standards by ensuring all commercial vehicle drivers are well-trained. The CPC consists of an initial qualification and periodic training every five years.

How do I renew my CPC Licence?

Renewing your CPC licence in Ireland involves completing 35 hours of periodic training within the five-year cycle. Training providers can help drivers complete the necessary modules locally. By choosing Empire Recruitment, who offer CPC courses in Cavan, drivers can conveniently meet their training needs and renew their CPC licence.

Requirements for CPC Licence Renewal:

  • You must hold a valid driving licence for the category of vehicle you operate professionally.
  • Complete the 35 hours of periodic training within the five-year cycle.
  • Keep meticulous records of your training sessions logged on your CPC portal.
  • Pay the renewal fee to the RSA.

Steps to Renew your CPC Licence:

  1. Start by assessing your training needs. Identify areas where you could benefit from additional knowledge or skill enhancement.
  2. Choose a trusted training partner like Empire Recruitment to guide you through the process.
  3. Attend their CPC course covering modules 1-6 to accumulate your required 35 hours of training.
  4. Once you've completed your training, ensure you receive a certificate of attendance from your provider. This helps when you submit documentation to renew your CPC licence.
  5. Submit all necessary documentation to your MyCPC portal account, and the RSA will take care of the rest, automatically issuing you a new CPC card.
What do I do if my CPC expires?

If your CPC licence expires, it's important to act quickly. Driving professionally without a valid CPC licence is illegal and puts your career at risk. Enrol in a CPC course session to renew your CPC licence promptly. This will help you regain your legal status to drive and demonstrate your commitment to professionalism and road safety.

When does my CPC expire?

Your CPC expiration date is printed on the back of your CPC card. Ensure you complete all mandatory training and submit your results before the expiration date. To maintain your CPC card's validity, undergo periodic training every five years. Failure to complete the required training within the specified timeframe could result in the expiration of your CPC licence, potentially putting your driving career on hold.

How much does the CPC renewal cost?

CPC renewal costs depend on:

  • The CPC training centre you choose.
  • The modules that you undertake.
