So when do you do CPC35hrs - I thought it’s after the practical test?
One way or another, you’ll need driver cpc. Potentially, there are two routes available to you. Firstly, if you passed your car test before the end of 1996 you will have a C1 licence already. That being the case you simply need to complete 35 hours of periodic training which is often classroom based and most good trainers will be able to offer this. You will then gain the card which is valid for 5 years, during which you will need to complete another 35 hours to cover you for the subsequent 5 year period.
The other route is Initial Driver cpc. This starts with a theory test known as Case Studies or Module 2. They are one in the same thing. Having passed the Mod 2 test you will need to pass the Module 4, otherwise known as the Practical Demonstration Test. These tests are not difficult and good trainers will be able to sort this for you. Some trainers, including us, have qualified assessors on staff thus eliminating waiting times.
To muddy the waters a little further, if you already hold C1 you can go down the Initial route but it can be a nightmare booking the Module 2. I suggest you go onto the gov.uk site for theory tests and see if it showing as available to you. If it isn’t, there is a procedure to follow but it can be frustrating and time consuming.
Hope all this helps,
