EU Professional Driver Directive

The new BKrFQG (Professional Driver Qualification Act) obliges all professional drivers of HGVs and buses to undergo professional training with immediate effect.

In future all professional drivers must provide evidence of a 35-hour training course which is recorded on their driving licence. Training for professional drivers can be divided into several one-day seminars (e. g. one training session per year).
 

We advise you how it works!
