CPC THEORY TESTS

The new Driver CPC theory tests are part of the new Driver CPC process, which is mandatory for all new professional drivers.
STEP 1 Drivers must first pass the learner permit theory test and obtain their learner permit as normal.
STEP 2 Drivers then must take pass theory tests.
TEST 1 100 multiple choice question (61 correct answers needed to pass)
TEST 2 3 case studies are short scenarios that describe various situations a driver might face. There are 15 questions in each case study (45 in total). To pass, you must correctly answer 28 of the 45 questions - a minimum of 5 questions on each case study.
Each stage takes two hours and it's possible to take both tests on the same day. Prometric Ireland, which runs the learner permit theory test, also carries out the Driver CPC theory tests. It costs €70 each.

When it comes to truck tuition, you will be taught in a modern truck more like one you will actually drive for a living. Unlike other driving instructor/school all instructor are experienced truck & coach drivers! We use a DAF CF75 310HP which has a `Range-Change`( 4 over 4) gearbox like most truck for test especially for EC test. Both tests (C&EC) can be done in our school truck, so you not have to get use of two different trucks. So don’t waste time & money with “tonka toy trucks” or inexperienced driving schools.

Hoover is a type of vacuum cleaner, artic is a type of truck, there is no such thing as an artic licence. It is an EC licence that means a category C plus trailer.

So call for more information 086 0400088.
