What does Theory MOD 2 involve?

Your CPC theory test consists of 2 parts, which you can complete in any order.

Module 2 is the ‘Case Study’ or theory part of the Driver CPC test (Initial Qualification) and it is conducted at the theory test centre,

The two sections include the Multiple-Choice test, which will take candidates an hour and 55 minutes to complete and consists of 100 questions. To be successful, you will need to meet or surpass 85% in order to pass.

The Hazard Perception contains 19 video clips with 20 hazards for you to identify, this will require candidates to get 67% to pass. These tests must be completed within 2 years of each other.

The learner will also have to work through 7 case studies on a computer, the test will last for an hour and 55 minutes, and the learner must achieve 80% to pass.

The case studies are scenario-based questions, which have been developed by industry experts and will be based on experiences a driver is likely to have/come across. You must answer 6-8 multiple choice questions on the 7 case studies. This will be valid for 2 years, and you must complete your Driver CPC Module 4 practical demonstration within this time.

Module 2 CPC is required by any drivers who:

• Qualified for their LGV after 10th September 2009.
• Qualified for their PCV after 10th September 2008.

Furthermore, drivers who passed:

• Their car test  before 1st January 1997  do not  require the initial CPC for Large Goods Vehicles.
• Their car test  before 1st January 1997  do still  require the initial CPC for Passenger Vehicles.

Module 2 Driver CPC Case study

Candidates must pass the case study test before they take the practical D emonstration test. Like the theory test, it is a computer based test.

We deliver Module 2 Driver CPC training in our office or you can buy study material from us and parctice at home on your computer. For module 2 training we sell DVDs and books to read and practice.

The case study test lasts 75 minutes and covers 7 case studies, 6 - 8 multiple choice questions from each case study with a possible maximum score of 50. Candidates need to score at least 40 out of 50 to pass the test. Before you start the test, you can have a practice session of up to 15 minutes.

The Driver CPC Module 2

• 18 Nov, 2013
• charlotte_mcghie
• Latest News

The Driver CPC Initial Qualification consists of two parts; Module 2 and Module 4. Module 2 is the ‘Case Study’ or theory test part of the Driver CPC Initial Qualification.

Conducted at the theory test centre, the Module 2 test generally takes about 30 minutes, although you have 90 minutes available in which to complete the test. It is a computer-based exercise with questions covering 7 different subject areas, all based on real-life situations which you may encounter as a professional HGV driver. It aims to check that you’re able to put your knowledge into practice.

Each of the 7 subject areas contains 6-8 questions, with a possible maximum score of 50 marks.

You must pass the driver cpc module 2 before you take module 4. In other words, the theory test must be passed before the practical part. Often, we organise the Module 2 test to occur after a candidate has taken their HGV training course, although you can do it alongside your Hazard Perception and Multiple Choice theory tests if you’re up to it!

To apply for the Driver CPC (module 2) theory test you must have a valid driving licence with provisional entitlement for the category in which you wish to do your test. Your Training Advisor will let you know when you’re ready.

I need extra help!

DSA provide a number of facilities for candidates with special needs, including:

English Voiceover – You can request an English voiceover if you feel that would help.

Extra time – If you have dyslexia or other reading difficulty you can request to have up to double time for Module 2. If you request to have more than standard time you will need to send in evidence of your reading difficulty to the theory test booking customer services.

How can I revise for the CPC Module 2?

The LGV Training Company provides totally flexible online revision material for the CPC Module 2.

Revise anytime, anywhere, on a PC, laptop, tablet or even on your mobile!
