TGA-Accredited Driver Professional Qualification Programs

Road transport regulations require passing the professional competency exam to obtain and renew the professional driver card — and the exam only admits applicants who completed training at an accredited centre. Five programs, in Arabic, English, and Urdu.

The certification path — three bodies, three steps

Training course — at POTC

Completing the course at an accredited training centre is the entry requirement for the exam. Output: a course-completion certificate.

Professional competency exam — at an independent test centre

Pass mark 60% or higher. Output: the professional competency certificate (valid 5 years).

Professional driver card — from the Transport General Authority

Issued by TGA after passing the exam; renewal is tied to a valid competency certificate.

The competency certificate is valid for 5 years; regulation requires a refresher course at an accredited training centre at least 60 days before expiry — otherwise the professional driver card cannot be renewed.

Regulation prohibits combining training and testing. POTC is an accredited training centre; it does not run the competency exam nor issue its certificate.
