Question 1

Is the CPC the same as the driving licence?

Accepted Answer

No. The Certificate of Professional Competence is a separate qualification with its own training, its own test and its own validity. The licence shows which vehicle you may drive; the CPC shows that you may carry out the transport commercially.

Question 2

How many questions are in the CPC test?

Accepted Answer

The test has 65 questions, of which five are unscored trial questions. The maximum score is 60 points and you need at least 48 correct to pass. The time limit is 50 minutes.

Question 3

Can I book the test straight away?

Accepted Answer

No. You must first complete an initial qualification registered with Transportstyrelsen. Only then can you book the knowledge test at Trafikverket.

Question 4

What is the difference between YKB Gods and YKB Persontransport?

Accepted Answer

They are two separate professional qualifications. Gods covers goods transport by lorry, Persontransport covers passenger transport by bus. The test format is the same but the content differs – which is why they are two separate courses here.

Question 5

Which areas does the test measure?

Accepted Answer

Three areas: advanced training in rational driving with regard to safety regulations, applicable regulations, and health, environmental and road safety, service and logistics.

Question 6

How long is the CPC valid?

Accepted Answer

The certificate must be kept valid through periodic training. Plan it well ahead – a certificate that expires means you may not carry out the transports the requirement covers.

Question 7

How many mock exams are included?

Accepted Answer

Seven full mock exams, in the same format and with the same time limit as the real test. They differ in difficulty, so you can start gently and work up towards exam day.

Question 8

Are the questions copies of Trafikverket's exam questions?

Accepted Answer

No. The official questions are not published by Trafikverket. Ours are written to train the same knowledge in the same exam format, and every question comes with an explanation of why the answer is right.

Question 9

Is my progress saved?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Results per knowledge area, bookmarked questions, your own notes and how far you have got are stored on your account and follow you between computer and phone.

Question 10

How do I know what to practise more?

Accepted Answer

The dashboard shows your result per knowledge area and highlights the ones where you are below 70 percent. Bookmark the questions you got wrong and run them as a session of their own.

Question 11

Can I have several licences on one account?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each licence is bought separately and added to the same account. You switch between them whenever you like, and progress in one does not affect the others.

Question 12

Does the payment renew automatically?

Accepted Answer

No. You pay once for the period you choose and access ends when that period runs out. Current prices are on the pricing page.

Question 13

Does the course work on a phone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The site is built for mobile and can be added to your home screen as an app, so you can fit in a short session while you are waiting somewhere anyway.

Question 14

What if I fail the real test?

Accepted Answer

You book a new test with Trafikverket. Your access here is unaffected while the period runs – use the statistics to see which areas pulled the result down and train those.

Question 15

Does the CPC test cover dangerous goods?

Accepted Answer

Basic knowledge of dangerous goods is included – recognising the markings, understanding the driver's responsibility and knowing when a job requires a separate qualification. Full ADR certification is its own training and its own exam, which the CPC does not replace.
