Certificate of professional competence

Professional driver training is required to be allowed to transport passengers and goods by bus and lorry. Your basic training must be registered before the theory test.

Passing the theory test indicates that you have sufficient knowledge to meet the requirements for a certificate of professional competence.

What will happen during the theory test

The test consists of 65 questions in total, but you can score a maximum of 60 points. This is because 5 of the questions are sample questions and do not count towards the test score. To pass, you must answer 48 questions correctly. The test takes 50 minutes.

The theory test gauges how much you know in different areas

  • Safety regulations
  • Efficient driving
  • Optimisation of fuel consumption
  • Rules for commercial traffic
  • Road safety, health, service
  • Transport logistics

If you have difficulty reading, you can apply for an extended test time. The theory test for the certificate of professional competence can also be taken orally.
