This post is my (somewhat) educated guess at the type of questions that you might get in the CPC National case study.
I’ve provided the pics to hopefully assist you to visualise some of the items in question.
To those not taking CPC exams: Before posting questions or comments on this topic, please re-read the first sentence 
I’m more than happy to answer questions in the H&S forum, where more people will see the answers.
Please leave this post clear so as not to overload the guys taking their exams 
I’ve taken a look at the pre-release case study on the OCR website.
It makes the following mention of a potential area of the case study:
UN class 8, Packing Group II, corrosive substances…carried in 1,000 litre IBCs
One good thing is that they’ve not mentioned a “UN number,” so the questions can’t be too technical or specific.
The IBCs will look something like this: (And will weigh at least 1,000kgs EACH.)
BEFORE ANYBODY ASKS, IT ISN’T LIMITED QUANTITIES
The required label for the IBC is this:
The required vehicle markings are 2 of these:
Name: “Orange coloured plate” size = 40cm X 30cm
One on the front of the vehicle, and one on the rear of the vehicle.
NO other vehicle markings are required
So that leaves us wondering what the questions might be…
The ADR load limit for the “stuff” they mention is 333 Ltrs, because it’s in transport category 2, so even one 1,000 Ltr IBC will mean that the load is “in scope.” (fully regulated)
Name x # documents:
1 Driver’s VTC (ADR licence) valid at least for class 8 in packages (an IBC is a package )
2 Transport document (Please see below)

I hope this post is helpful, but time will tell…
Please post whether this was helpful, because I won’t see the questions you get. It might help for next time
) and I did a course yesterday. The trainer I had agreed with you that the question will be general in its nature. He didn’t try to second guess the actual question but I think what you’ve put is in the right area.
Am I wrong or what?
