CPC NATIONAL ROAD HAULAGE OPERATIONS
MANAGEMENT QUALIFICATION
Introduction
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.
The qualification consists of 2 examinations as follows:-
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.
The CPC Exams are held 4 times a year around the UK and the dates are usually set in March, June, September & December.
The closing date for candidate entry for the CPC Examinations is the Friday exactly three weeks before the Examination Date. There can be no late entries or cancellations after this date.

The Exams for Passenger Transport consist of units P1 & P2 which follow exactly the same exam format as units R1 & R2, but are specific to the Passenger Transport Qualification.
For candidates who have already obtained the full CPC National Qualification (between November 1999 and February 2012) OCR will be running 4 examination sessions for the CPC International Qualification throughout 2012. Candidates will be only be able to sit the CPC International Exams on these dates in 2012.
