Code 95 support for professional drivers
What is Code 95?
The EU qualification for professional drivers.
Code 95 is the EU code shown on a driving licence or driver qualification card. It confirms that a professional truck or bus driver meets the EU requirements for professional competence (the driver CPC).
Drivers obtain an initial qualification and keep it valid through periodic training — usually 35 hours every five years. How the rules apply to you can depend on your licence, where it was issued and your work, so we start by reviewing your situation.
