Drivers who operate passenger transportation by trolleybus must hold a certificate for trolleybus transport.

The certificate for trolleybus transport represents proof of professional competence for the role of a driver of vehicles intended for the mentioned road transport.

Note: Initial qualification certificates (CPI) or periodic training certificates (CPC) valid for vehicles in categories D1, D1E, D, or DE are also valid for trolleybus transport, provided that the holders possess a valid driving license for vehicles in categories D or DE.

After completion of the training course, the candidate may take the examination only in the county/municipality of Bucharest in which the authorised centre where he/she completed the training is based.

Candidates who fail the first examination may take a new examination in any county or in the Municipality of Bucharest.

The examination for the trolleybus certificate consists of a set of 20 questions to be answered in 20 minutes. Each question has four possible answers of which only one is correct.

At least 70% of the questions, i.e. at least 14 questions, must be answered correctly to pass the exam.

At the end of the exam, the score and pass/fail grade obtained by each candidate are automatically displayed on the terminal screen of the PC unit where he/she took the exam.

The grade obtained in the examination can also be found on the www.arr.ro website here , under the section Certificate/attestation information, on the first working day after the examination.

The examination for the professional certification of road transport specialists is organised and conducted only for candidates registered in the computerised examination system by authorised centres.

For each examination session provided for in the Examination Calendar, the candidates shall be scheduled on that day by the examination board according to the specialities for which they are taking the examinations and, secondarily, in alphabetical order of the candidates' names. The Romanian Road Authority - A.R.R. shall notify the training centres concerned of the schedule at least 48 hours before the exams are held and, in addition, it shall also be posted on the website: www.arr.ro.

The members of the examination committee forbid access to the examination room to candidates under the influence of alcoholic beverages or psychotropic substances, as well as to any person who is not a candidate, except in cases where the technical staff intervenes to remedy a malfunction of the electronic equipment.

The members of the examination board shall allocate to each candidate who meets the conditions for taking the examination, via the computer system, a unique examination number code for each candidate, which shall give him/her access to the grid questionnaire generated by the computerised examination system application. The numerical examination code is given to candidates when they enter the examination room.

When entering the examination room, candidates are required to fill in their full name, personal code and handwritten signature on the table provided by the examination board.

After entering the table, candidates are directed to the PC terminal/unit where they are to answer the grid-type questionnaire. Candidates access the computer-assisted examination system using the unique examination code received from the examination board.
