LGV / HGV Initial Driver CPC: Modules 2 & 4

What is Initial Driver CPC?

Driver CPC is a mandatory qualification for anyone who wishes to use their LGV licence professionally, i.e. for work purposes or to be paid as a driver.

If you do not already hold a Driver Qualification Card (DQC), you can complete LGV Driver CPC Modules 2 and 4 to earn your first.

You will need to complete the following two modules in order:

Module 2: Case Studies Theory Test

This 75-minute theory test consists of 50 ‘Case Study’- style questions, with a minimum pass mark of 40 out of 50.

We are able to arrange your theory test on your behalf and provide access to our online theory revision portal, which contains all of the information required to pass.

If you are completing your driver training with us, then this is included in our LGV Starter Pack.

Module 4: Practical Demonstration Test

Once you have passed your Case Studies theory test, you will return to us for a 1 day course to complete the Module 4 training and assessment.

Driver CPC Module 4 is a practical test; however, there is no driving involved. The examiner will ask you five questions about a static vehicle, to which you must explain and demonstrate your answer.

Questions will relate to safety, security, prevention of illegal activity, emergency situations and defect reporting, such as:

• Show me the checks you would perform if you believed your vehicle might be overloaded?
• Show me how you would check this vehicle for contraband or illegal immigrants?
• Show me the daily defect check you would perform prior to taking this vehicle on the road?

Duration: 1 Day

Cost: £275.00

Maintaining Your Driver CPC Qualification

Upon completion of CPC Modules 2 & 4, you will be issued your Driver Qualification Card (DQC), which is valid for 5 years.

To keep your CPC in date, you must complete 35 hours of CPC Periodic Training every 5 years, which is completed by attending classroom sessions. However, it’s worth pointing out that you can also gain CPC hours by attending transport-related courses such as ADR Dangerous Goods.
