CPC Case studies

You need to have taken the Driver CPC theory test before you can sit your case study test.

What do you need to do?

If you want to be Driver CPC qualified for either a truck or bus you will need to have passed a case study test

The case study test describes 3 real life situations a driver might face. There will be 15 questions on each.

To pass you have to score at least 5 out of 15 in each situation and have an overall score of at least 28 out of 45.

Where do you need to go?

You can book your case study test at the  Driver Theory Test Website

Your test result

When you finish your theory test you will be given a score report. This will tell you whether you have passed or failed your test.

This information will be passed on by the Driver Theory Test Service to the RSA CPC Section.

If you have passed, you will be given a Driver CPC Case Study Test Certificate

Your case study test certificate is valid for 2 years from when you passed the test.

If you fail your case study test

You’ll get a score report with feedback telling you why you’ve failed.

You can book another case study test straight away, but you can’t take it for another 3 clear working days.

Please contact us directly for more information on dates and times of case study classes.

• security of the vehicle and contents
• ability to prevent criminality and trafficking in illegal immigrants
• ability to assess emergency situations
• ability to prevent physical risk

When you've passed all 4 parts

You’ll receive a Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) Card , which you must carry with you whenever you're driving an HGV.

Acquired rights

If you’re already a professional driver, you may have ‘acquired rights’ to Driver CPC if you got your vocational licence (D, D1, D+E and D1+E) before 10 September 2009.

Having acquired rights does not exempt you from periodic training .

Renewing your Driver CPC for bus and coach

All professional bus and coach drivers must complete at least 35 hours of Driver CPC training every 5 years .

The training covers various aspects of professional driving and is delivered by independent training bodies.

What’s covered in your training is up to you and your employer, but it might include:

• fuel-efficient driving
• defensive driving techniques
• health and safety
• drivers’ hours regulations
• using tachographs.

One day’s training every year is ideal. It allows you to respond to each year’s priorities for your own continuing professional development and your employer’s changing business needs.

It can severely impact business planning and keep you off the road if too much of your training is left to the end of your card’s validity period. You also might not be able to find a trainer if demand is high.

It is illegal to drive professionally if you fail to complete your 35 hours periodic training by the deadline .

Driver CPC Initial Qualification

All potential professional drivers will need to pass Initial Qualification Tests, which will assess their knowledge and skills in the areas outlined in the Directive.

Driver CPC Theory Test – Step 1;

= Option 1;  applies for either a bus or truck theory test This test consists of 100 multiple choice questions – you must correctly answer at least 74 of them to pass either the bus or the truck exam.

= Option 2;  applies for either a bus and truck theory test This test consists of 140 multiple choice questions if you want to drive buses and trucks, you may opt to take the combined bus and truck exam. You must correctly answer at least 104 to pass this combined bus and truck exam.

Driver CPC Case Study – Step 2;

= 3 case studies are short scenarios that describe various situations a driver might face. There are 15 questions in each case study (45 in total). To pass, you must correctly answer 28 of the 45 questions – a minimum of 5 questions on each case study.

We will prepare these potential professional drivers to assist them in passing all two steps required to attain the Learner permit for C or D License.

After passing your Driver CPC Theory Test Step 1 and Step 2 and holding a driving license B you can apply for your  Learner Permit for license C or D (or both).

You now have two years the time to finish your Driver CPC Test with the flowing steps

Driver CPC Step 3

=  the standard 90-minute driving test

Driver CPC Step 4

=  a 30-minute practical test

Again we will prepare these potential professional drivers to assist them in passing the all last two steps as required to attain the full Driving license for C or D.

After you passed all the 4 Steps above and you want to maintain your Driver CPC you must then do 35 hours of periodic training over the next five years. Training is on a one-day-per-year basis (minimum of 7 hours each day). If you are maintaining both a bus and a truck CPC you must complete 42 hours training over the five year period.

These courses are for all potential professional young drivers “C license 18 Years plus and D license 21 Years plus”, these courses are also for “Back to Work Scheme” and “Career Change”
