    Hey all,

    If your going to apply for the Dublin Bus jobs then you will need to do both your Theory and CPC Case Study tests. The Tests cost 75 euro each and have a month + waiting list times.

    If you are getting paid to drive the bus you must complete the CPC exams anyway plus a practical on the day of the test.

    Thanks for the reply Trucker.

    There is no required lessons, just the test pass but unless you have experience with a large vehicle you are not going to pass without a number of lessons.

    I am guessing Truckermal was already a trucker.
