  • Organisation and technical preparation of oversized transports
  • Traffic safety during oversized transport
  • Principles of defensive driving – recognising unsafe behaviour of other road users and possible preventive actions
  • Practical training

You may attend the training if you meet the following requirements:

  • You hold at least a Category B driving licence
  • You have a driving license for more than 3 years
  • You have not been legally convicted with an unconditional prison sentence for offences against public traffic safety

Examination

The competence assessment is carried out by a professional commission appointed by a decision of the Minister responsible for transport.

The initial certification exam consists of a practical part and a theoretical part. Candidates who successfully pass the practical part (oral presentation) may then take the theoretical exam.

The theoretical exam sheet consists of question sections with 2 to 10 sub-questions. Each sub-question is worth one point. The candidate answers with YES or NO. A candidate passes the theoretical exam if they achieve at least 70% of the total points. The theoretical exam lasts 60 minutes.

A candidate who does not pass the exam may take it again, but not earlier than after three weeks. The cost of the re-exam is paid by the candidate.

If a candidate passes the practical exam but does not pass the theoretical exam, the practical result is kept, so at the next exam attempt the candidate only repeats the theoretical part.

A candidate who successfully completes the competence assessment receives a competence certificate for Escort for Oversized Transport, issued in the form of a card.
