    It's around €1200 OP. And you don't have to renew it every year. One word of advice though, I'd make sure you have some kind of work lined up before investing all your time and money to acquire an Artic license.

    The money is cr*p, working conditions a joke plus you'd be very lucky to be employed without prior experience.

    I have a transport mgmt CPC since the mid 90s the exams are easy enough if you study or have a background in the industry,The Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport oversee the course and exams and have a list of course providers on the website CILT.IE.
    As for getting the artic licence as Faith mentioned the pay is mainly crap with long hours be it days nights or early morning starts 2/3 am etc,That is if you are lucky to get a job as most places want a minimum of 2/5 years experience.
