For those candidates who are looking to complete their Initial Driver CPC Qualification, there are two sections that need to be completed, being Module 2 and Module 4.
Mod 4 is a practical test where drivers must show various operations for a lorry driver, other than driving. The things that you can be tested on include safely loading the vehicle, prevention of trafficking illegal immigrants, emergency situation assessment, and a full vehicle safety check.
The test is 20-30 minutes in duration and will cover questions in the following:
- Daily walk-around checks
- Ability to prevent physical risk.
- Loading and security of loads.
- Keeping the vehicle secure.
- Emergency procedures.
- Loaded vehicle dynamics.
- Border crossings.
- Security procedures.
How much does MOD 4 CPC cost?
The cost of a Module 4 CPC course can change each year, we advise speaking with our team of advisors to discuss your requirements and to get the most current price, you can contact our advisors by calling 02392 123 555.
Drivers will need Module 4 CPC if they:
- Qualified for their LGV after 10th September 2009.
- Qualified for their PCV after 10th September 2008.
Additionally, those drivers who passed:
- Their CAT B (car) test before 1st January 1997 do not require the initial CPC for Large Goods Vehicles.
- Their CAT B (car) test before 1st January 1997 do still require the initial CPC for Passenger Vehicles.

So you can’t actually fail it, if you go with you guys?
Hi,
While some courses are attendance based only to pass, the Module 4 course is not, and like any test, you can pass or fail the module 4 test.
2 Start Ltd are certified and able to conduct both the Module 4 training and Module 4 tests and has multiple training depots approved for this.
You must attend the training and complete all of the course modules required to show competency to a satisfactory level, where you will then take a separate Module 4 test and this most certainly can be passed or failed by any student.
