Professional driver qualification; application for recognition as a training center.
Training centers that want to offer the accelerated initial qualification and/or the continuing education within the framework of the professional driver qualification law require state recognition by the locally responsible government.
Description
In addition to the state-recognized training centers, legally recognized training centers may also offer the accelerated basic qualification and/or the advanced training, which are usually necessary insofar as transports in the road haulage and passenger transport on public roads are carried out with motor vehicles for which a driving license of the classes C1, C1E, C, CE, D1, D1E, D or DE is required.
Professional drivers can prove their participation in a training course by entering the code number 95 in their driver's license with the district administrative authority.
Prerequisites
Training centers for the accelerated basic qualification and/or the further training are recognized by the state if
- they have the personnel and material requirements for teaching the knowledge and skills required for the accelerated initial qualification and/or continuing education,
- they employ sufficient teaching staff in reasonable proportion to the number of participants in the initial qualification and/or continuing training
- they have suitable classrooms as well as teaching materials that are suitable and sufficient for each participant in order to carry out the teaching,
- continuous training of the teaching staff is ensured, and
- there are no facts that speak against the personal reliability of the applicant.
Procedure
The application must be submitted to the Government of Upper Palatinate in writing or electronically (by e-mail). If the requirements are met, the state recognition will be issued in the form of a notice.
Special notes
If legally recognized training centers (in particular CE/DE driving schools and training companies) wish to offer and conduct training courses within the scope of the Professional Driver Qualification Act outside their authorization under the Driving Instructor Act or outside the premises of the business premises, they also require state recognition for this purpose.
Full proof of the above-mentioned requirements must then be provided.
Deadlines
Training may not be held until state approval is received.
