Professional drivers holding a driving licence of category C/C1 and D need to undertake training every five years after they have gained their basic qualification. The training covers a minimum of 35 hours (5 days of 7 hours), including courses on technology, modern driving and petrol-saving, social regulations and health and cargo securing. In category D, 42 hours (6 days of 7 hours) are compulsory. The training requires full attendance. After the training is completed the code '95' is entered in the driver's licence.
The law addresses drivers and does not include any obligation of employers to provide the necessary training. However, some collective agreements stipulate that employers cover costs for the relevant courses and/or allow participation during working time.
The amendment to the Ordinance on the Basic Qualification and Continuing Education of Professional Drivers was published with BGBl No. II 531/2021 on December 9, 2021. This transposes the Directive (EU) 2018/645 into national law and modernizes the Austrian system of Professional Driver Qualification modernized. Changes are e.g. the registration period for the exam will be shortened to 3 weeks (instead of six weeks previously). Notification of the examination will now take place 2 weeks beforehand (instead of three weeks before).
