In brief

• From 3 November, training courses for truck and bus drivers will be possible to complete remotely to a greater extent.
• The way training centers keep documentation is also changing.
• Details of changes to exams are lacking in the available sources.

Remote courses to a greater extent

The new regulations apply to people who are only now acquiring qualifications, and to drivers who must regularly complete periodic training (Nowe zasady dotyczące szkoleń kierowców zawodowych. Co się zmieni od 3 listopada? – gazetaprawna.pl.

Simpler documentation for centers

The changes are also meant to make it easier for training centers to keep documentation related to classes. For training companies this means fewer formalities when organizing courses, and for carriers greater freedom in planning training for their drivers.

What about exams

Changes to exams, which the announcements mention, have not been described in detail in the available materials, including dates and the form of knowledge testing (Od 3 listopada nowe przepisy dla kierowców zawodowych. Zmieniają zasady szkoleń i egzaminów - Finanse i prawo – farmer.pl).

From when and for whom

The changes take effect from 3 November. They concern professional drivers of trucks and buses, that is, people subject to the obligation of initial and periodic qualification. Transport entrepreneurs who employ such drivers should check whether their training plans require updating.
