Danish Bus Driver CPC Qualification Study Tips from Top Performers

1Master Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 calculations and distinguish the ordinary 15-plus-30 split from the current flexibility for qualifying occasional passenger services.
2Thoroughly understand Smart Tachograph (Gen 2) operations: memorize manual entry workflows, the ferry/train interruption rule requirements (regular daily rest only, max 2 interruptions totaling no more than 1 hour, access to sleeper cabin), and the 56-day roadside inspection record mandate.
3Focus on passenger rights under Regulation (EU) No 181/2011: study PRM boarding procedures, wheelchair securement standards (four-point tie-downs plus independent occupant seat belts), and compensation obligations for mobility aids.
4Learn pneumatic brake dynamics and retarder operation: understand the function of dual pneumatic circuits, low-pressure buzzers, spring parking brakes, and how using hydrodynamic/electrodynamic retarders prevents thermal brake fade on long descents.
5Review Danish and international transport documentation: know the requirements for the Interbus journey form (kørebog), bilateral transit permits, passenger cabotage restrictions, and national regional transit authority operating guidelines.

Current from 1 October 2025, the electronic written assessment lasts at least 4 hours. It contains at least 50 four-option single-answer questions and at least six cases with at least five four-option questions each; case questions may have one or more correct answers. Each part is worth 50 points.

What are the passing score thresholds for the written test?

Candidates must score at least 25 of 50 points in each written part and at least 85 of the combined 100 points overall.

Within what time frame must all examination components be completed?

All components of the qualification examination—the written test, the practical driving test, and the practical task—must be successfully completed within a 24-month period from passing the first component.

How does the Bus CPC differ from the Category D driving licence and EPD?

A Category D driving licence proves fundamental vehicle control and traffic compliance. Erhvervskørekort (EPD) historically referenced commercial passenger transport licensing. The Code 95 qualification (grundlæggende kvalifikationsuddannelse) is a comprehensive professional certification verifying in-depth knowledge of EU transport laws, passenger rights, safety, and operational logistics.

What are the rules regarding driving and rest times for bus drivers?

Commercial bus operations are generally governed by Regulation (EC) No 561/2006, subject to its exclusions and exemptions. Standard limits include 9 hours daily (10 twice weekly), 56 weekly, and 90 over two weeks. After 4.5 hours, a 45-minute break is required; qualifying occasional passenger services may split it into two breaks of at least 15 minutes each totaling at least 45 minutes.

What is the 12-day rule for occasional passenger services?

The current rule can apply to qualifying national as well as international occasional passenger services. It permits postponement of weekly rest for up to 12 consecutive 24-hour periods only when all preceding-rest, subsequent-rest, journey-form, tachograph, and any applicable night-driving conditions are met.

What are the primary passenger rights under EU Regulation 181/2011?

Regulation (EU) No 181/2011 guarantees non-discriminatory contract terms, dedicated free assistance for disabled passengers and persons with reduced mobility (PRM), compensation for damaged mobility equipment, reimbursement or re-routing in case of major cancellations or delays, and transparent information regarding passenger rights.

How long is the Danish Code 95 qualification card valid, and how is it renewed?

The qualification card (chaufføruddannelsesbevis) is valid for 5 years. To maintain the qualification, drivers must complete 35 hours of approved periodic training (efteruddannelse) every 5 years; no additional written test is required for renewal.

Is this 100-question practice bank an official Færdselsstyrelsen test?

No. This English-language 100-question single-answer bank is an independent study adaptation. It is not an official translation or simulation of the official case questions, which may have multiple correct answers, and it does not replace the practical drive or task.
