Under a new European Union Directive (2003/59/EC), all professional bus, coach and lorry drivers will now need to hold a Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (Driver CPC) in addition to a driving licence. Any drivers of lorries over 3.5 tonnes and minibuses with 9 seats or more must obtain a Driver CPC.
New drivers obtain their Driver CPC by passing a series of initial qualification tests - theory and practical. This must then be followed by 35 hours of periodic training every 5 years if they want to keep their Driver CPC after that period.
LTB 815/09 -Driver CPC (Certificate of Professional Competence) For all professional drivers of Lorries, buses and coaches - refers.

But it won't stop coach drivers from falling asleep at the wheel.
