What is the Driver CPC?....Do I need a CPC? 

Thank you guys! Watching your videos really helped alot. I passed my practical and the cpc( your show me tell me video was first class) how you all deliver you videos and bounce of each other make it enjoyable and informative. Salute to you all👌🏿👌🏿💪🏿💪🏿👍🏿

That's why there's a driver shortage. CPC should be done once only by new passes. Drivers have it hard enough out there .

Another well delivered video, thanks. Keep up the great work!

I have watched few videos from you , got my provisional license class 1 , passed my theory test and hazard, being finding all the info you giving very helpful specially the modul 4 video have watched that . Thanks for the effort you putting out there for newly drivers out there . Subscribed of course 🤟

Thanks fellas, i wasn't sure i understood the acquired rights but after your video it confirmed what i thought, not a lot of easy to understand info out there, thanks for the video spot on, cheers.

I'm in the process of hopefully getting my HGV class 2 class 1 license , great videos and are very clear with the information given! I'm waiting for my provisional and am looking for the right company to complete the course with! Thanks fellas!

I'm looking at doing my Class C and C+E back to back. I have been watching your videos and think they are brilliant. I wish I was closer to you guys, I would definitely book my training with you. Unfortunately I'm over 200 miles away, up in Yorkshire. Stay safe.

Thanks a bunch guys. All the way from Poland, as a foreigner, not so good with the Polish language but you guys kept me on track, I got to know about Apps to use and what to look out for. 28-04-2023, I passed my Class C (Theory) examination. looking forward to starting the practical training. No English teachers here where am at, but I try to grab as much as I can in Polish and later come to you guys to study here and get clarity. Thanks for the good jobs.. cheers

I'm doing my HGV class 2 at the moment on a government Apprenticeship basis. These videos are great to watch and my stumbling block so far has been Mod 1a, the multiple choice theory. 84 out of 100 twice when 85 is needed. My Mod 2 I didn't even revise much. Just 1 failed mock test, but I passed with 47. I advise against this, but so far, I'm really enjoying the process of learning and just waiting on my practical stuff now. These videos are going to be massively useful for it.

I have watched a few of your videos and they are very informative and fun as well. I have driven all types of vehicles since I was 17 and I had a class 2 licence entitlement. I was a mechanic with buses then trucks and eventually did driving for a living. When this cpc stuff came into being I was driving a minibus for NHS and wasn’t involved with driving HGVs. at that point. My problem was that no one gave me any information whatsoever with regards to my licence and this new cpc test we had to take. Eventually I phoned DVLA and asked them what the situation was regarding me getting the cpc, I was told that I had to get it within 5years from when it started or I couldn’t work driving for a living. If I didn’t get it within that 5 years I would lose my driving entitlement for class 2. I still had no information about it and eventually they took my entitlement off my licence and I wasn’t happy but from what I had heard from others was that i5 would cost me £700 or so and a week off work so obviously there was no way I could afford this and hadn’t a clue how to go about getting it, so the licence was gone. I am really annoyed about it as I feel there was no enough information out there at the time to help drivers like myself understand this better,also when I called DVLA they were not very helpful at all and only told me that I had to get it or I would not be entitled to drive. I did enjoy my time driving during which I collected zero points and had an accident free employment. Aaargh !! I still get so upset about it all. Anyway sorry I went on a fair bit but I just wanted to say and at least let others know they were not the only drivers who were left to find out information for themselves and that the whole system for HGV drivers is a total ba*** up. Have to say though thanks to you guys folk will have somewhere they can find useful and practical information when it’s needed, keep up the good work, thank you 😁

You both did a fabulous job and I look forward to meeting you both as I relocate from Bermuda to London later this Oct 2020. I would like to do all my training with NDC..

The reason I left the industry after 30 years I had driven nearly every type of lorry and transported nearly every type of load including tipping tanker hazardous loads low loader wide and long loads and felt completely humiliated to have to go to a classroom and be taught my job by a desk taught tutor who had never roped or sheeted a load in their life so it was too much for me

Love ❤️ u guys Well explained

I’ve never got the hazard perception tests. I see potential hazards all the time and drive accordingly yet still making good progress. I drove 7.5 tonne vans in the 1990s and early 2000s. This CPC nonsense is just yet another money grab

Great Video.

Great video thank you it was very helpful 👍. Quick question for you please, re: the continuation aspect of it. Is this a "test" or more an overview of any new rules and regulations etc? Also, those two lorries behind you both, are they class 2 vehicles and not 7.5ton units? I know some of them can seem quite large but still be classed as a 7.5t, many thanks indeed 👍

Hi just to be certain you have to do the regular hgv theory test and the cpc theory aswell.

Hello chaps brilliant videos u guys are really helpful. I have recently passed my theorys and my class 2 test. Iv got my mod 2? booked this month then if that goes well booking mod 4. My question is if i was to pass my mod 4 can i drive soon as i get my initial cpc card or do i have to do 35 hours cpc training before i can drive for a living? Thanks again guys for all ure videos u have helped me massivly keep it up

Great video, what app would you say is the best for revision for my CPC on iPhone?

Hello I have just passed my theory and hazard perception just a little unsure of what the next route is after that. many thanks

That was great

Maybe it's unusual but am considering utilising the license class' I've had since 1980 to add the now required CPC. Seems possibly class 1 with ADR is the target as life now provides an opportunity to do what hasn't been possible thus far. Not sure the pay is where it needs to be yet, should be £1k for a 40hr week but, these videos sure help. Used to be a pro HGV driver could raise a 2-3 kiddies family including a pay a mortgage with a partner parenting at home, what went wrong! Never mind Brexit, seems all trades got wrecked by paper pushing becoming regarded as requiring degree! Soon, professional class 1 able to undertake crane or other equipment add-ons will be paid the £50-60k per annum?

The CPC is a complete waste of time. 90% of the things taught a driver does not need to know. A totally unnecessary expense for the driver.

Hello guys I just want to say an big Big thank you for all your videos they helped me so much I watched them over and over agen keep up the good work I was wondering if you could point me in the rite direction to becoming a cpc trainer

This is a good video and calmed me down a little I am wanting to become an Lgv driver so need to do my theory and then practical I getting 80% in the hazard perception, and multiple choice I recently started to get higher but was like what the heck is a cpc how do I do it etc... just need to book my THeory now and practice more of the multiple choice

Keep watching your videos very helpful, need held which is the best phone apps to use?

I'm planning on definately doing my C1, however I also sent off for a Cat C provisional at the same time. Is it worth wanting to do your Cat C licence even if your not interntionally wanting to go into the industry.?? Can you do the CPC after you've done your Cat C test.?? Thanks

Hello great video so far Ave served almost 14 years in the military so far and coming up for my last 2 years I have all my licences since I was 19 but don’t have my CPC do I need to do all my modules as in 1-4 or is mods 2-4 2010 when I my c and c+ e licence

Great video,I passed my test 1992 and have grandfathers rights ,after I complete all 5 CPC coarses,will I receive a new license allowing me to drive class to for a living ?

Nice video, appreciate the walkthrough. Just so I'm 100% on this, I DON'T have to do 35 hours of training to initially acquire my CPC? The 35 hours is only needed to RENEW my CPC?

Thank you for the information fellas, nice set up there! Can I please briefly pick your brains, I’m returning to the industry after a 22 year gap. I lost my c+e in 2000 due to type 1 diabetes. The law has now changed and I’ve applied for my license back. There’s a few hoops to jump first. Will my acquired rights give me five years to complete the continuation training, and would I get a card at the same time I get my license Thanks for your help

I haven’t driven HGV (that’s how long ago it was) but now want to get back into it. I have an old class 1 artic license but presumably just need a medical as I’m over 50 to reactivate it?

Question guys... I currently drive coaches and my cpc is fine and up to date etc. Now, I passed my HGV test back in 2010 but the entitlement isn't on my cpc card. So would I be right in thinking that I would need to complete modules 2 and 4 to gain entitlement? This cpc stuff is a bit of a minefield! Thanks for any info.

I see why there's a shortage of hgv drivers I'm thinking of doing my c+e but that cpc is an absolute pain it be better once you done it you won't have to do it again like the licence

Hi guys Love watching your videos. In the early stages of the process of working towards my HGV license Can I get my CPC done before getting my license Many thanks Eddie

Hi guys thanks for all your videos they’ve been a great help I passed my theory in august 2022 . It’s a government funded course I’m still waiting for my practical lessons I feel 9 months since passing is a massive gap from learning the theory I’ve forgotten most of what I’ve learned and no longer have access to dts I’m slightly worried I’ll fail when they eventually get me on practical training any idea what I could do from now until then? Sorry probably don’t make sense

I have a full licence. In a few years I want to buy a giant truck like a polish jelcz 662 (pronounced Yelch) they weigh about 10 ton. I'm going to kit it out with everything and only use it for personal use. Am I correct in thinking I just need to do a lorry theory and a lorry practical like a car and bike and avoid this CPC? Thank you gents. Have a great weekend.

Just want to clarify something here. I have my LGV Multiple Choice booked for December, if passed (hopefully) will I be able to learn to drive and get my full C2 and C1 license then do the CPC after I am licensed? Thanks Nathan

Hi..can you explain what the class of vehicles on the back of the uk drive qualification card mean....and what number 9 means on the front of the card..

Done a cpc course for the whole week years ago in Southampton. The instructor said on the first day… yes this will be boring, but you need to attend so if you want to sleep or watch film on you phone carry on!!!

Do you need to do a new cpc and theory and medical going from hgv to buses?

If you have a class c licence would you automatically be able to drive c1 type vehicles?

Hello, is the 100 theory questions and hazard perception part of the CPC or does the CPC contain 4 different tests? Many thanks

Sorry not linked to the video I really wanted to drive a HGV class 1 for a career I have a few company’s in mind but there is a lot of negative feelings about lorry driving in the comments, would you recommend it as a career?

i have been out of the country for 11 years and have no returned to the UK i have had my class to for about 20 years now and my UK tacho card has expired . Do i need to have a new tacho card to sit the cpc or can i sit the test with my old card while my new card is being processed ?

I've just sent off my hgv license and waiting for my licence to arrive and I'm thinking of doing my class 2 first then hiab lorry loader straight after

Hey guys great vid ...I have a 3500kg uk licensewant to drive up2 a 7.5 ton what do I need to do for this license Many thanks

Attained my C1E, C1, in the military way back in 1988, coming back to haulage after a long break, do i need my CPC ? and what is aquired rights regarding to driving after a long lay off? Theres been alot of legislation and qualifications changes in my time away. Does a piece of paper make me a better driver now, or more money in the coffers for someone's retirement fund!!

Will 1 CPC say for bus licence for example cover going for Licence? Also is 1 medical required for each category of licence you apply.for I.e got one for bus and want to apply for HGV class 2?

Hi I’ve got my bus license and my CPC for that. But at the moment I’m going through my HGV tests and I’ve passed my mod 2 and mod 4 a few days ago. I know the card doesn’t turn up for 20 days but do I need to do another 35 hours or will I just receive the card with the same expire dates as the bus one?

If pass my pcv cpc mudule 4 so I can recieved my cpc card automatic in 2 3 weeks i not have to do anything..

I’m in the process of doing my hgv licence but it’s such a confusing process and hard to find info online I have completed my medical and theory and hazard perception do I now move onto the cpc or case studies?

Hello Its a good video I've passed my CPC in Spain I have uk full driver license do I need to exchange my CPC card or do I need to ask for UK one? Or do I need to study for a new CPC? Thank you

If I passed my cat c, do I only need to do a case study and the walk around ?

I want to start my HGV theory test what is the best app to use for learning ?

hi just a quick question, so i i got my first cpc in 2018, and i left my bus driving job in 2020. My cpc is still valid till 2023 (on the card it says) , eventhough i have only done 2 cpc courses in the span of time. so does that mean in reality my CPC is no longer valid? please just a quick yes or no, although i would appreciate a longer answer. either way thanks in advanced.

hello, I just passed CPC theory test Can I give practical Reversing test module 3 and practical demonstration test module 4 on the same exam day? are each module given on different days? Thanks

I had to take a cpc in1990 to be promoted to transport manager but I presume it's now a totally different thing as my CPC was equally too a city' and guild level 3

do i need my licence before cpc 35 hours training? have passed theory, hazard and case studys but have not passed my driving test yet. looking to get ob the road as soon as possible

Does CPC have its own theory test that needs to be passed above the normal theory test? So two theory tests??

So do you have to pass your class two test in full before you can do your CPC test?

Wats the best cd for cpc case study module 2 plz

If you have your truck licence and want to get the CPC licence. Is it just the case studies and the practical tests you need to do, or do you need to do the hazard perception and theory tests aswell.

Good

Once the mod 2 & 4 are passed do you need to complete the 35hours or do you have 5 years to complete it

Just busy doing my class 1 licence and just seen your video mentioning not everyone needs a cpc, I'm currently doin my module 2 which states if driving isn't your main job you don't need one hence why you mentioned scaffolders,.I understand they transport their own goods of carriage so they are normally exempt but can I just as where would a grab wagon driver stand in the same situation, ie I dig out my own earth, supply my own stone and lay drive ways/ block paving yes it's for customers but it's also known as my business use related to that business!! So what I'm asking is grab drivers under the same grey area as scaffolders as it's within their own business use as some have told me it comes under the restricted operators licence as it's knows as use with in its own operating business ase that's what I've been reading?? Any help would be great guys and thanks in advance 👍

Hi, guys! Please, I'd like to ask you if I could validate my spanish initial CAP course (HGV & buses), for the english initial CPC. Thanks!

I have received my cpc card, but when I try to register it says I don't have any training record yet. Should it not show the training I went thru prior to passing and receiving my cpc card.

Expat here. Seems the same as PDIC (Professional Driver Improvement Course) that is offered over here but not compulsory, it's offered by some companies as part of a new hire driver orientation. But here succesful completion will remove up to three points off your license once completed. Making people go to driving schools etc seems excessive and costly.

I can’t seem to pass my cpc module 2. I don’t know where i can revise it. Everywhere i revise for it the answer never come up on the test.

Am I correct in thinking that you need to get 80% per case study question, or is it a straight 80% across the whole test?

Hi Guys, love your videos. Just past my class C on monday and my boss wants me to drive our scaffold lorry. Its a 3.5 tonne 7 tonne i believe fully laden. We're from Belfast and are not more than 20 miles from any of our jobs and i havn't done cpc and have been unsure if i need to. Just heard you guys bring it up in the video. Can you confirm if its something i'll need to do before driving.
