Alaymont is pleased to be approved by the Road Safety Authority to deliver the new CPC Modules for Bus & Truck Drivers.

Here is everything you need to know about this new mandatory Driver Training!

ALL truck and bus drivers will have to do one day a year of Driver CPC in the classroom, doing one module per year for 5 years, and then starting again.

The 5 modules are;

1. Control of vehicle and eco driving techniques

2. Minimising Risks and Managing Emergencies

3. Health and Safety of the Professional Driver

4. Role of the Professional Driver in the Transport Industry (tachograph etc)

5. The Professional Truck Driver

6. The Professional Bus Driver

We realise Drivers may consider CPC training an expense and a day out of work, but there ARE benefits for the individual AND the industry;

• Better, safer drivers

• Improved career paths for professional drivers

• Safer Drivers – the Driver CPC system is very concerned with Safety

• Healthier drivers

• Environmental and economic benefits for the the truck and bus owners / companies and the wider economy

• Possible insurance benefits
