The European Union published the Driver CPC Directive in 2003, affecting all professional LGV and PCV drivers.
For new drivers it introduces an initial qualification, the Driver CPC (Certificate of Professional Competence), which increases the amount of knowledge that drivers need before they can drive. When combined with licence acquisition tests, the initial qualification includes a four hour theory and two hour driving and practical test.
