Driver guide
The 35-hour rule
Periodic training is usually split into modules of seven hours. You can spread them across the five-year period or complete them in one block, depending on your training provider.
Where you train and where it counts
Training completed in one member state is recognised across the EU, but the qualification card is issued by the country where you legally reside. Plan around residency, not around where you currently drive.
Timing your renewal
Start at least six months before expiry. Training slots fill quickly in spring and autumn, and an expired Code 95 means you cannot legally drive commercially until it is restored.
