These qualifications are offered by OCR on behalf of the Department for Transport and include a range of subjects related to the business of road haulage or passenger transport management.  \nThe qualifications are for individuals who want to enter the profession of transport manager or demonstrate their professional competence to meet operator licensing requirements – holding a CPC is one of the elements an applicant must satisfy for the Transport Commissioner to grant an Operator Licence.  \nThe directive to which OCR’s previous CPC qualifications related expired on 4 December 2011. New qualifications have been available since March 2012. The table below tells you what you might want or need to do depending on any qualifications you currently hold.  \nI have  \nan OCR International CPC  \nan OCR National CPC, gained after October 1999  \nan OCR National CPC, gained before October 1999  \nsome OCR CPC units gained before March 2012 (but not a full CPC)  \nnot got a CPC  \nI need to  \ndo nothing  \ndo nothing  \nOR  \ntake the ‘top up’ unit  \ndo nothing  \nOR  \ntake the new 2012 CPC qualification  \ntake the new 2012 CPC qualification  \ntake the new 2012 CPC qualification  \nMore information  \nOCR International CPCs remain valid.  \nOCR National CPCs remain valid.  \nHowever, if you want or need an International CPC, you must  \ncomplete the International ‘top up’ unit by 6 December 2013. After this date, you will need to take the new 2012 CPC qualification (two exams) .  \nThe qualification is International (there is no National version) .  \nOCR National CPCs remain valid.  \nHowever, if you want or need an International CPC, you will need to take the new 2012 CPC qualification (two exams) . The qualification is International (there is no National version) .  \nIf you need a CPC you will need to take the new 2012 CPC qualification (two exams) .  \nThe qualification is International (there is no National version) .  \nYou can find out much more about these options by reading our ‘top up notice which is included at the end of this document.  \nThe rest ofthis document relates to OCR’s new 2012 International CPC qualifications.  \nNEW 2012 QUALIFICATIONS  \nOCR’s new CPCs in Road Haulage and Passenger Transport both consist of a single multiple choice exam and a single case study exam. Both elements will test National and International knowledge/application. So, to achieve a new International CPC, you only need to take and pass two exams.  \nHOW DO I OBTAIN A CPC?  \nYou can either study in your own time or attend a training course with a CPC training centre. You then need to sit two exams (which you must take at a training centre, whether you study in your own time or on a course) .  \nThere are two exams: a case study exam and a multiple choice exam. To gain a full CPC, you need to sit and pass both exams in Passenger Transport or both exams in Road Haulage.  \nOCR does not endorse CPC training centres but they can be found by searching online for ‘Transport Manager CPC courses’. Fees for courses or for exam-only entries can be obtained from each centre.  \nDetails of the exams are below.  \nFormat  \nTotal number of marks available  \nTypical percentage required to pass unit Exam duration  \nExam time  \nOpen book exam?  \nSessions  \nMultiple Choice  \n60 x 1 mark multiple choice questions  \n60  \n70%*  \n2 hours  \n10am – 12pm  \nNo  \nPaper exam: Single exam day in March, June, September, December  \nOn-screen, on-demand exam: At anytime  \nCase Study  \nLonger answer questions of between 4 and 15 marks  \n60  \n50%*  \n2 hours (2hrs 15 mins from March 2014 onwards)  \n1pm – 3pm (1pm – 3. 15pm from March 2014 onwards)  \nYes  \nSingle exam day in March, June, September, December  \n* Note: the required percentage to pass is typically set at this l","cbCaikEyquQHSV92","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikEyquQHSV92","pdf",566531,"English","# What is the CPC and who is it for?\n# CPC qualification updates and top-up options\n# New 2012 qualifications overview\n# How do I obtain a CPC?\n# Exam formats, marks, and timings\n## Multiple Choice exam\n## Case Study exam\n# Content and syllabus testing","[{\"question\":\"What is the CPC and who is it for?\",\"answer\":\"The CPC is the Certificate of Professional Competence in Road Haulage or Passenger Transport.
