Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Transport

My department has received 13 representations requesting the provision of online Certificate of Professional Competency (CPC) courses from 2020 to date. The number of representations stating objections to attending an in-person CPC course were four in 2020 and six in 2021. There has been none received in 2022 to date.

Some representations covered both issues.
