1What does Belgium's getuigschrift van vakbekwaamheid voor het vervoer van goederen over de weg prove, as distinct from Union code 95?
A.That a driver completed 35 hours of nascholing and may drive category C vehicles for hire
B.That the holder passed the GOCA practical test for category CE
C.That a natural person has the professional competence to act as vervoersmanager of a goods road-haulage undertaking
D.That the holder may operate taxis or limousines without a separate licence
Explanation: ITLB organises the exam for the getuigschrift van vakbekwaamheid for goods road haulage. FOD Mobiliteit en Vervoer issues it to the person who will effectively and continuously manage the undertaking's transport operations. Code 95 is the driver's CPC (bewijs van vakbekwaamheid) and is a different exam.
2Which four conditions must a Belgian goods road-haulage undertaking meet before FOD Mobiliteit en Vervoer will issue a vervoervergunning?
A.Effective establishment in Belgium, good repute (betrouwbaarheid), financial standing, and professional competence of at least one vervoersmanager
B.A category C licence, Code 95, GOCA inspection, and a Selor language test
C.ISO 9001, an ADR safety adviser, a Community licence already in force, and a passenger CPC
D.A national-only CPC issued after 1991, a taxi licence, and two bank references
Explanation: Regulation (EC) No 1071/2009 and the Belgian wet of 15 July 2013 require four conditions: vestiging in België, betrouwbaarheid, financiële draagkracht, and vakbekwaamheid of at least one transport manager who effectively and continuously manages transport. ITLB, FPS Mobility and Febetra all list the same four.
3Who organises the Belgian goods-haulage operator exam sittings, and who issues the getuigschrift van vakbekwaamheid?
A.GOCA organises the sitting and the gemeente issues the certificate on the driving licence
B.Febetra both trains candidates and issues the Community licence
C.ITLB organises sittings on behalf of the ministerial exam commission; FOD Mobiliteit en Vervoer issues the certificate
D.Selor organises a computer MCQ and the FOD Economie issues the certificate
Explanation: ITLB (Instituut wegTransport & Logistiek België) is the only recognised training institute and organises the exam sittings for the commission appointed by the Minister. The certificate is issued by FOD Mobiliteit en Vervoer to candidates who pass.
4When and where does ITLB hold the written papers (schriftelijke proeven) for the goods-haulage operator CPC?
A.A Sunday sitting in Brussels from 08:30 to 12:45 with no break, covering theory and exercises
B.Saturday computer session at GOCA centres, 50 questions in 50 minutes
C.An evening oral in Eupen only, in German
D.A weekday Selor psychometric battery in each provincial capital
Explanation: ITLB states that the written papers take place on a Sunday (one in March and one in October) in Brussels, from 08:30 to 12:45 without a break. Both papers cover the same six subjects: social law, labour regulation, costing, payment and financing techniques, accounting, and financial analysis.
5Is the ITLB course compulsory before a first attempt at the getuigschrift van vakbekwaamheid exam?
A.Yes — no candidate may sit without completing the ITLB classroom year
B.No — self-study is always sufficient, including after a fail
C.No — the course is optional for a first attempt, but a candidate who fails that first attempt without having followed the recognised ITLB course must take the course before retaking
D.Only if the candidate also needs Code 95 nascholing
Explanation: ITLB states that following the lessons is not compulsory at first. Candidates who do not pass on their first participation and did not follow the courses at the recognised institute must follow those courses before registering again. ITLB is the only recognised training institute.
6How does the ITLB goods-haulage operator sitting relate to the passenger-transport operator CPC (personenvervoer)?
A.They are distinct ITLB sittings; a goods getuigschrift does not by itself authorise passenger-transport operator competence
B.They are the same certificate; one Sunday paper covers both goods and coaches
C.Passenger CPC is only Code 95 category D and replaces the operator exam
D.Passenger CPC is issued automatically once you hold a communautaire vergunning for goods
Explanation: ITLB organises a separate personenvervoer course and exam for the getuigschrift van vakbekwaamheid for passenger transport by road. The goods sitting on this bank is limited to beroepsgoederenvervoer. Passing goods papers does not grant the passenger operator certificate.
7Which statement about Belgian national-only operator certificates is correct according to FOD Mobiliteit?
A.National-only getuigschriften are still the default issue after every ITLB sitting
B.A national-only certificate is issued automatically if you sit the exam in Dutch
C.National-only certificates have not been issued since 1991; the current certificate is valid for national and international transport
D.You must first hold a national-only certificate for five years before an international one is possible
Explanation: FPS Mobility states that a getuigschrift valid only for national transport has not been issued since 1991. Candidates who pass the ITLB exam receive a certificate valid for national and international transport, which is the basis for a communautaire vergunning rather than a purely national licence.
8What is the ITLB published fee for the goods-haulage operator exam, and what is the indexation caveat?
A.EUR 470, subject to indexation under the ministerial decree of 23 May 2014
B.EUR 95, the same as a GOCA Code 95 theory sitting, with no indexation
C.EUR 9,000, equal to the first-vehicle surety
D.Free if you already hold Code 95
Explanation: ITLB lists the exam cost as EUR 470, with the express reservation of indexation under M.B. 23 May 2014. Payment of the invoice is what makes the registration valid. The amount is not the surety and is not a driving-test fee.
9When does Belgian access-to-profession regulation apply to a goods movement, according to ITLB and Febetra?
A.Whenever any van leaves a Belgian yard, including own-account shop deliveries in a 1.5 t MTM car-derived van
B.Only for vehicles over 3.5 t MTM that also hold Code 95
C.When goods are carried for hire or reward (not own goods), with nuttig laadvermogen over 500 kg and MTM over 2.5 t — the MTM limb being the regional extra condition introduced in 2023/2024
D.Only for international journeys; purely Belgian hire-or-reward work is unlicensed
Explanation: ITLB defines beroepsgoederenvervoer as carriage of goods for reward where the goods are not the operator's own, with payload over 500 kg and MTM over 2.5 t. Febetra notes the Regions added the 2.5 t MTM limb (Flanders 3 April 2023, Brussels 10 December 2023, Wallonia 6 April 2024). Own-account carriage of your own goods is outside this occupation.
10How is the ITLB oral (mondelinge proef) structured after a candidate passes the written papers?
A.The same six written subjects are re-examined as a 100-question computer MCQ, pass 80/100
B.Ten examiners each ask one question in the candidate's gemeente
C.The oral is optional if the written total exceeds 100 points
D.Only written passers are invited; on the day four of ten remaining subject-groups are drawn, each scored 0–20 for a total of 80; Dutch and French orals are in Brussels, German in Eupen
Explanation: ITLB invites only candidates who passed the written papers. Four groups are drawn from the ten remaining groups (civil/company law, contract of carriage, intermediaries/logistics, customs/tax, insurance/organisation, vehicles/animals/handling, intermodal/dimensions/telematics, ADR-ABC/temperature/waste, access to the occupation, road safety/EU traffic rules). Each group is 0–20, total 80. NL/FR orals are in Brussels; DE in Eupen. Autumn 2026 orals: NL weekend of 28 November; FR and DE weekend of 5 December.

About the Belgium Operator CPC (ITLB) Exam

Belgium's getuigschrift van vakbekwaamheid for goods road haulage is the transport-manager Certificate of Professional Competence required under Regulation (EC) No 1071/2009 and the law of 15 July 2013 before FPS Mobility will issue an operator licence. ITLB runs a written sitting (theory plus costing exercises, 08:30–12:45) and a later oral. The fee is EUR 470. The certificate is not the driver Code 95 / basiskwalificatie (be-cpc-vakbekwaamheid), and it is not the passenger-transport operator CPC. Official sittings are in Dutch, French or German. This bank is an English-language four-option MCQ study adaptation, not an official translation and not a substitute for the written exercises or oral.

Assessment

ITLB organises the goods-operator CPC twice a year. Written papers in Brussels run 08:30–12:45 with no break and cover social law, labour regulation, costing, payment/financing, accounting and financial analysis. Candidates who pass are later examined orally on four of ten remaining subject groups. Official delivery is Dutch, French or German. This English four-option bank is a study adaptation of that knowledge — not an official translation, not a simulation of the open-question/oral format, and not the driver Code 95 exam (be-cpc-vakbekwaamheid). Passenger-transport operator CPC is a separate ITLB certificate.

Time Limit

Written sitting 08:30–12:45 (4 hours 15 minutes, no break). Oral duration is not published as a single clock time.

Passing Score

Not published as a single overall percentage on ITLB exam pages. Written theory and written exercises are each marked on 60 points (subjects 0–20). Oral is 80 points (four groups 0–20). Only written passers are invited to the oral.

Exam Fee

EUR 470 (ITLB; subject to indexation under the ministerial decision of 23 May 2014). (Ministerial examination commission, with practical organisation by ITLB; certificate issued by FPS Mobility and Transport)

Belgium Operator CPC (ITLB) Study Tips from Top Performers

1Keep this exam separate from driver Code 95: you are studying to manage a haulage company, not to sit GOCA C/D theory.
2Practise kostprijsberekening until you can build a cost price per kilometre without notes — it is a compulsory written paper.
3Memorise the four 1071/2009 conditions and the FPS Mobility surety: EUR 9,000 for the first motor vehicle plus EUR 5,000 per extra motor vehicle (trailers do not count).
4Learn cabotage as 3 operations in 7 days after an international load, with the BENELUX exception.
5The oral draws 4 of 10 groups — you cannot drop CMR, ADR ABC, customs or access-to-profession.
6Complete all 100 practice questions, then prepare open-question and oral answers in Dutch, French or German. This bank is not a format simulation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Belgian operator CPC?

It is the getuigschrift van vakbekwaamheid for the transport manager of a goods-haulage undertaking, required under Regulation (EC) No 1071/2009. ITLB organises the exam; FPS Mobility issues the certificate and the operator licence.

Is this the same as Code 95 / driver vakbekwaamheid?

No. Driver Code 95 (be-cpc-vakbekwaamheid) is the professional-driver qualification marked on a C or D licence. This exam is the operator/manager certificate needed for a vervoervergunning. Passenger-transport operator CPC is a further separate ITLB sitting.

What is the official format?

A Sunday written sitting in Brussels from 08:30 to 12:45 (theory plus exercises on six subjects) and a later oral on four drawn subject groups. Official items include open questions as well as multiple-choice. This bank is an English four-option study adaptation, not a format simulation.

How much does the exam cost in 2026?

ITLB lists EUR 470, subject to indexation under the ministerial decision of 23 May 2014. Course fees are extra. The EUR 9,000 / EUR 5,000 surety is a licence financial-standing condition, not the exam fee.

In what languages is the official exam delivered?

Dutch, French and German. Written papers are in Brussels; the German oral is in Eupen. This practice bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation, not an official translation and not a simulation of the oral.

Must I take the ITLB course?

Not for a first attempt. If you fail that first attempt without having followed the recognised ITLB course, you must take the course before you may enrol again.
