Who Needs Initial CPC?

Initial CPC is for lorry drivers that didn’t hold a lorry entitlement (7.5t or above) on 9th September 2009.

This means the lorry driver must have either passed a UK car driving test before 1st January 1997 or have passed a Cat C1, C, or CE test before 10th September 2009.

Initial CPC is only undertaken once for lorries and once for buses if required. All subsequent training will be Periodic Driver CPC.

The Two Modules

Module 2

Module 2 is a computer-based assessment taken at a DSA theory test centre. Module 2 contains 7 case studies based on situations that drivers are likely to encounter.

The test examines your ability to apply knowledge to work-based driving situations. Questions are in ‘short’ formats such as multiple-choice, clicking on an area of a photograph, or by typing in a short answer.

Module 4

Module 4 is a practical test where the driver demonstrates their ability to keep a vehicle roadworthy, safe, and secure whilst ensuring personal safety.

The driver will be asked to demonstrate a knowledge of performing daily maintenance vehicle checks by conducting a physical walk round vehicle safety check. To pass, the candidate has to score 15 out of a possible 20 points in each topic area (75%) and an overall score of 80%.

Frequently Asked Questions

Timing & sequence
Can I take Module 4 before Module 2?
No, you can’t. The process is the same as it is for a driving test — theory tests first, then practical test.
Can I complete Initial CPC before my lorry test?
Yes, you can. Some drivers complete Initial CPC before their driving lessons so that they can start work as soon as they’ve passed their practical driving test.
Should I complete Initial CPC before my lorry test?
We would generally advise leaving the Module 4 until after you have undertaken some driving lessons. It is a practical test where you demonstrate familiarity with a vehicle, so most candidates prefer to wait until they have some experience in a vehicle.
How quickly can I take Module 4 after passing Module 2?
Immediately. There is no requirement to wait. Enterprise offers Module 4 tests at least once every week, so any wait should be minimal.
Does a Module 2 pass expire?
Yes. A Module 2 pass is valid for 2 years. To gain a DQC, you must pass a Module 4 test within 2 years of passing a Module 2 test.
