What does CPC Module 2 assess?

Module 2 of the Driver CPC qualification consists of case studies based on real-life scenarios. These scenarios demonstrate situations you may face and need to be able to deal with in your working life. The case study test allows you to demonstrate your knowledge and understanding and assesses you on how to put your knowledge and skills into practice. Remember, this module requires you to use what you have learned to make your own judgements on each scenario. The CPC Module 2 assessment lasts 1 hour and 30 minutes and tests you on 6 to 8 case studies. You will then be asked between 5 and 10 questions about the scenarios in each case study. Answers can be provided in 4 ways but will usually either be from a multiple-choice list or require you to click on certain areas of an image or photograph. As mentioned, you have to pass the Driver CPC Case Study Test before you are able to take Driver CPC Practical Demonstration Test ( CPC Module 4 ).

As a professional driver of large goods vehicles, you could encounter any of the circumstances in the case studies during your working life. The questions asked are designed to make you think about how you should behave in each scenario. The Driver CPC Module Case Studies also assess 3 key skills:

• Your knowledge – You will be tested on your basic ability to recall factual information.
• Comprehension – You will be tested on your basic ability to understand situations you may face in your working life.
• Your application of knowledge – You will be tested on your ability to practically apply your knowledge and understanding to real-life situations.

What can you expect in the CPC Module 2 test?

As outlined above, the test will last 90 minutes and be made up of between 6 and 8 case study scenarios. Before the test starts, you have 15 minutes to get to grips with how the testing equipment works. This means you will have 75 minutes in which to answer the questions on the case studies. You will be using a Visual Display Unit (VDU) like the one used for the Theory Test.

Each case study has between 5 and 10 questions asked about each scenario. However, whether you have 6 or 8 scenarios in your test you will always be asked a total of 50 questions. To register your responses, you can either use the mouse or the touch screen functionality of the VDU.

If you have already sat the multiple-choice and hazard perception tests for Module 1, then you will be familiar with how to use the VDU.

CPC Module 2 Questions and Answers

There are four possible ways you will be asked to answer the questions appearing on the right of your screen. These four ways are detailed below:

1. Multiple Choice Questions

As in the Module 1 theory test, some questions will require you to choose just ONE correct answer from a list of possible options.

2. Multi-response Questions

You may also have been asked questions like these in the theory test. For multi-response questions, you are required to select more than one right answer from a list of options.

3. Audio Questions

Some questions about the case studies require you to listen to an additional audio clip. You will need to listen to an audio clip to be able to answer these questions. Audio questions require you to choose just ONE correct answer from a list of options.

4. Hot Spot

Hot spot questions require the use of the mouse or a touch screen to click on appropriate areas of photographs or illustrations.

During the 15 minutes before the test starts, you will have the chance to practice answering questions asked in each of these ways. However, the practice questions will not be scored.

Once you have answered all of the questions relating to a case study you can click on the ‘next’ button located on the bottom left of the screen. This will take you to the next case study until you have completed 50 questions. You are able to double-check or change answers in previous case studies at any time if you realise you answered something wrong.

The CPC Module 2 pass mark

As of 21 st March 2011, the pass mark for the Driver CPC has gone up to 40. You will be asked a total of 50 questions, so need a pass mark of 80% to pass your Driver CPC. Once you have passed Module 2 you will have 2 years to pass the Driver CPC 4 practical demonstration test.

How to prepare for the Driver CPC

In order to prepare for the Driver CPC module 2, there are a number of simple steps you can undertake. The key is to revise using example questions. However, note that the questions you will be asked during the test will not be exactly the same as the questions you revise. Nevertheless, they will be a variation of the questions and revising gives you the chance to be prepared with the knowledge required to answer the questions however they may have been asked. You should also:

1. Understand the Driver CPC

It will be useful to understand each of the different modules involved in the Driver CPC before taking this test. Make sure you understand the differences between Modules 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the Driver CPC.

2. Practice with our online resources

It is vital to practice with example questions. Our CPC module 2 practice material covers everything you need to pass the test. This includes:

• Safe and Fuel-Efficient Driving (SAFED)
• Load safety
• Securing loads
• Regulations governing carrying certain load types
• Regulations that govern the prevention of trafficking
• Regulations that govern driver hours and tachographs
• Health & Safety at Work
• Keeping yourself fit for the job
• Dealing with emergencies
• The role of a driver in a company or organisations
• Organisation of freight transport
• Other techniques for safe driving

3. Make sure to read example questions

You will need to read example questions on each of these areas. Make sure to read a variety of questions for each topic area to ensure you richly understand the subject.

4. Practice

It is a good idea to randomly practice answering questions from each of these sections. You may find you are more comfortable in some areas than others. Once you feel you are ready, it is advisable to take a practice test.

5. Practice tests

Once you have practised answering questions for each of the sections, it is a good idea to practice under exam conditions. This will help you feel more comfortable on the day of the test.

You will receive the results on the day of the test as they are available within 10 minutes of completing the test. The pass letter is dated and you have two years to complete Part 4 of the Driver CPC from this date.

If you fail Module 2 of the Driver CPC, your results letter will explain why you have failed and provide feedback. You can book a re-test on the same day but this will take a minimum of three working days to be cleared and approved.

About Driver CPC

What is the driver cpc.

The Driver CPC is a professional qualification for bus, coach, and lorry drivers. Although the directive was passed in 2003, it was not introduced for Passenger Carrying Vehicles (PCV) drivers until 10 th September 2008 and then for Large Goods Vehicle (LGV) drivers until 10 th September 2009.

Once qualified, drivers receive a Driver Qualification Card (DQC) and must keep this with them when driving professionally. In addition to the initial qualification to obtain the Driver CPC, professional drivers are required to undertake periodic training totalling 35 hours every 5 years in order to retain the Driver CPC.

What is the purpose of the Driver CPC?

The main aims of the Driver CPC are threefold:

• To improve the skills and knowledge of bus, coach and lorry drivers prior to them starting to drive professionally.
• To continue to develop and enhance their skills and knowledge for the duration of their working lives.
• To improve road safety Europe wide with more highly qualified drivers.

Who does the Driver CPC apply to?

The Driver CPC legislation applies to the UK licence categories C, C1, D, and D1. New drivers entering the industry need to pass an initial Driver CPC qualification before they will be able to drive professionally and this can be taken alongside the vocational driving test. However, all drivers will still need to complete the periodic training of 35-hours within 5 years if they wish to keep the Driver CPC.

How do you get a Driver CPC?

In order to obtain the Driver CPC initial qualification drivers are required to complete 4 modules:

Consists of a theory test which comes in two parts lasting a total of 2.5 hours:

• Multiple choice
• Hazard perception

Consists of a theory test based on case studies lasting 1.5 hours.

Modules 1 and 2 can be taken in any order but must be completed before moving on to modules 3 and 4.

Consists of a practical driving ability test lasting 1.5 hours broken down into 3 parts:

• Reversing exercises at the test centre
• A minimum of 1 hour on the road
• An assessment of the eco-safe driving technique

Consists of a practical demonstration test in relation to vehicle safety, lasting half an hour.

Whilst you can take modules 3 and 4 in any order, you must have completed module 1 in order to attempt module 3, and you must have completed module 2 before you attempt module 4.

What’s Included in Module 1 of the Driver CPC?

What’s included in the module 2 case studies of the driver cpc.

Unfortunately, passing the components in module 1 is not enough on its own to get you the Driver CPC, you will also have to pass module 2. This is tested on the computer and uses a series of case studies based on real-life scenarios that you may be faced with when working professionally. You will be asked questions about the scenarios written by experts in the field. These questions will mostly be multiple-choice, but some others: require you to click on a photograph or image; are multiple response, or; are free-text.

Each test consists of 7 case studies containing between 6 and 8 multiple choice questions about the given scenario. Examples could include anything from driving in icy conditions to violations of driving hours rules and are designed to test your knowledge and understanding in practice. The maximum score for the test is 50, with a pass mark of 40 required. The test lasts a maximum of 1.5 hours and must be passed before attempting module 4 or driving professionally. Without a DQC, you can’t drive for profit.

Module 2 Conversion Test

Drivers who hold a Driver CPC in one vehicle category (e.g. PCV or LGV) already and want to attain one in another category will have to undertake a module 2 conversion test. This test will consist of 50 questions in relation to 10 case studies. To obtain the Driver CPC in the new category they will also need to complete parts one, three and four in full.

What’s Included in the Module 3 Practical Driving Ability Test?

As noted above, the practical test contains 3 parts:

• A reversing exercise carried out in the test centre
• A minimum of 1 hour on public roads, which, depending on where you take your test, MAY INCLUDE driving on motorways. Exercises undertaken will be related to the specific vehicle you wish to obtain the Driver CPC.
• An assessment of eco-driving safety. This involves the examiner noting your control over the vehicle and ability to plan your driving appropriately. However, this part of the assessment will not count towards the test results. Nevertheless, the examiner will give you feedback on your eco-safety performance at the end of the test. The test lasts 1.5 hours and will include a minimum of 1 hour driving on public roads.

What’s Included in the Module 4 Practical Demonstration of Vehicle Safety Test?

To attain the Driver CPC modules 1,2 and 3 are not enough, you will also have to pass module 4. This is another practical test with a particular focus on vehicle safety and was specially designed with advice and support from industry experts. The half-hour test requires participants to demonstrate their ability and knowledge in a number of areas:

• Vehicle Loading – Ability to load your vehicle with appropriate consideration for safety rules and the proper understanding of vehicle use will be assessed. This includes an assessment of your knowledge of fuel consumption optimisation and the transmission system.
• Vehicle Security – Ability to maintain the security of your vehicle and contents will be assessed.
• Prevention of Criminality and Trafficking – You will be assessed on your ability to prevent criminality and the trafficking of illegal immigrants.
• Emergency situations – Your ability in terms of assessing emergency situations will be tested.
• Prevention of Physical Risk – Your capacity to prevent physical risk will be assessed.
• Walk Round Vehicle Safety Check – You will be required to demonstrate your knowledge through a physical safety check of the vehicle.

In LGV tests you may also be required to demonstrate your ability securing loads using a specialist piece of equipment. All-in-all the test is marked on all of the topic areas covered in the Driver CPC syllabus with a pass mark of 15 out of 20 required in each of the 5 syllabus areas and an overall pass-mark of 80% also necessary to obtain the Driver CPC.

What is Required for Periodic Training?

You will be required to undertake 35 hours of periodic training every 5 years to retain the Driver CPC license for professional driving. The 35 hours can be staggered and taken across multiple blocks. However, the minimum amount of time for a single block is 7 hours and the courses undertaken must be taken with approved training centres in order to count.

Those holding both a PCV and an LGV license are only required to complete one 35-hour batch of training every 5 years rather than 35 hours each per licence.

Who has Acquired Rights for the Driver CPC?

A number of drivers have ‘acquired rights’ which means they are not required to sit the initial part of the driver CPC qualification due to their experience level. Acquired rights holders are those professional drivers with:

• an LGV licence passed before the 10 th of September 2009, and/or
• a PCV license passed before 10 th September 2008

However, even drivers with ‘acquired rights’ will need to comply with the periodic training requirement. They will only receive their DQC once they have completed their first 35 hours of specific training which will remain valid until:

• 9 th September 2019 for LGV drivers
• 9 th September 2018 for PCV drivers
• 9 th September 2019 for holders of both licence

Periodic training has set deadlines for completion, with the next deadlines:

• 9 th September 2024 for LGV drivers
• 9 th September 2023 for PCV drivers
• 9 th September 2024 for holders of both licence

Proving the Driver CPC

Proving you hold the Driver CPC for professional drivers is possible with the Driver Qualification Card (DQC), or a valid driving licence for someone with ‘acquired rights’, which MUST be carried at all times when driving professionally.
