Wheel Nut:
It is the order of which to do it in that has caused confusion. A trainer told me I need the Digital Card and D4 before I can do DCPC. Seems very strange.
Do you have a pre 1997 car licence? I’m guessing that you have, and if that is true then you automatically have your C1 entitlement (7.5T) which is independent of your C/C+E (lapsed) entitlement and you are allowed to do your DCPC.
You don’t need to have a digi-tacho card, you might possibly be driving a 7.5T with an analogue tacho, but it would be worth getting one
It’s easy enough to do your courses online now.
