Tests for Drivers

Dear professional drivers, candidates for this profession, and driving instructors. We have prepared a psychological test to examine the capabilities of drivers. Testing is in accordance with applicable law relating to § 87a of Act No. 411/2005 Coll. as amended, and fully replaces the complicated and lengthy testing by a psychologist, which may last several hours and subjects the driver to a test battery and requires answers to questions of a very private nature.

It is necessary to undertake psychological testing to obtain the qualification for drivers of buses and trucks over 7.5 tonnes, and those carrying out this activity as a profession. This is the group of driving licenses C, C + E, C1 + E, D, D + E, D1 and D1 + E. Such psychological tests need to be completes before starting work, and then before reaching the age of 50, and then every subsequent five years.
