Management CPC Changes 2012
From 4th December this year,
the shape of the Management
CPC (Certificate of
Professional Competence)
will be changing.
We would like to inform you
of four important items
about the future of the CPC,
as set down by the new
legislation and also by the
Department for Transport.
- As per the
new legislation,
the
International
and National CPC
will merge. This
means that after
the December
2011 session,
all candidates
who take the CPC
will be examined
in relation to
both
International
and
National content
(EC 1071/2009.
Introduction,
item 11)
- The DfT have
confirmed that
OCR is allowed
to offer the
current
International
examinations
(current units 6
& 7) alongside
the new
provision. OCR
plans to offer
these
examinations for
a minimum of a
year, to allow
candidates who
have achieved
the National CPC
to 'top up' to
the
International
CPC without
restarting the
new
qualification
- The DfT have
stipulated that
candidates who
have only
partially
achieved a
National CPC by
December 2011
(for example,
have achieved
units 1 and 2,
but not 4, or 1
and 5, but not
3) will not be
able to carry
forward those
achievements to
the new
qualifications.
Candidates with
only partial
achievement will
need to complete
the new
qualification in
full
- The rules
for claiming
grandfather
rights are
changing. In due
course, VOSA
will be in touch
with all
grandfather
rights holders
currently named
on O-licences to
set out the new
arrangements.
