Want to become a truck driver? This is what you need to know about code 95!
Do you dream of a career as a truck or bus driver? Or are you already on your way to getting your truck driving licence? Then there is something very important you cannot ignore: Code 95. But what exactly is it? Code 95 is compulsory periodic training for all professional drivers who have their C, C1, D or D1 driving licence (and possibly supplemented by a CE driving licence). It is a code on your driving licence that shows you have the right knowledge and skills to drive safely on the road. To obtain Code 95, you have to take a specific refresher course consisting of several teaching modules. After passing this course, you will receive the code on your driving licence.
To maintain Code 95, you must take 35 hours of refresher training every five years. This ensures that you keep up to date with the latest traffic regulations and safety measures. You can take the refresher course at a recognised training provider. By continuing to take this refresher course, your driving licence remains valid for professional transport.
Why Code 95?
As a truck or bus driver, you obviously need the necessary skills to be safe on the road. And that is exactly what Code 95 provides! It is designed to improve your knowledge and skills to enhance road safety. During the course, you will learn all about driving and rest times, road safety, maintaining your vehicle, and much more. These are rules that do not apply to other driving licences such as the car licence, motorbike licence, or moped licence.
We make sure you are well prepared for the road, and that you know how to deal with different traffic situations. So Code 95 is not only an obligation, but also an opportunity to develop yourself as a driver.

Exemptions for Code 95
It is worth noting that some professional drivers do not need to obtain Code 95. They are exempt from the refresher training, such as firefighters, police officers and some other positions. Code 95 is also not required for driving a truck or bus for private purposes. For all exemptions, you can check the website of the Environment and Transport Inspectorate (ILT) for the full list.
