UK-issued CPC cards can be exchanged for an Irish CPC card without sitting an exam; the Irish Department for Transport has given its assurances to road transport managers.
John Martin, policy manager of the British Road Haulage Association in Northern Ireland, reached out to the Irish government to seek clarification on CPC card misunderstandings.
As Martin writes in his Twitter post, Irish transport managers living in Northern Ireland had received a letter from the Irish Department for Transport saying their professional qualifications obtained in the UK wouldn’t be recognized in Ireland after Brexit.
