Overview

The CPC Road Haulage syllabus has been completely revised due to new European Union Legislation which came into force on 4th December 2011. As a result of this, the CPC Qualification now covers the National & International Road Haulage Operations together in one qualification.

The qualification is assessed at Level 3 of the National Qualification Framework, and is comparable to other qualifications at Level 3, e.g. NVQ Level 3, Advanced GNVQ and A-Level. There are no formal requirements for entry to the examinations.

Candidates will be expected to have a reasonable standard of literacy and numeracy and a level of industry knowledge appropriate for a person working at Level 3.

Description

Unit R1 – Certificate of Professional Competence (Road Haulage) Multiple Choice – A 2-hour examination consisting of 60 multiple choice questions. This examination is a closed book exam, so no revision materials will be allowed. The pass mark is 42 out of 60 (which is a pass mark of 70%).

Unit R2 – Certificate of Professional Competence (Road Haulage) Case Study – A 2-hour examination consisting of 5 – 8 case study questions. This examination will be an open book exam, so reference materials will be allowed. The pass mark is 30 out of 60 (which is a pass mark of 50%).

Candidates are required to pass both units to be awarded the Certificate of Professional Competence, but not necessarily at the same time.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
