In Slovenia, prefessional driver is currently the second most needed occupation. Truck and bus drivers have a lot of responsibility, as their work requires constant focus on time, distance, and safety. Their professional skills are proven by obtaining the basic qualification called Code 95.
To become a professional driver, one must first obtain a C or D category driving licence.
The new legislation in the field of road transport stipulates that all young drivers must obtain a basic qualification – code 95, which is obtained on the basis of a theoretical and practical test carried out before the state commission. Upon successful completion of the test for the acquisition of the basic qualification, one obtains code 95 entered in the driving licence with a validity of 5 years.
Code 95 is extended on the basis of regular training sessions of 35 hours, 7 hours every year.
