So I passed my bus licence in March 2000. While I am waiting for my class C provisional to come have been reading, googling etc. It seems I have acquired rights? Checked my CPC card and I have cat C and CE on it, expires 2019, same as my bus. Looked on Gov website and logged into my account/driver licence number, and sure enough it shows full CPC for lorry and bus.
Am I right to assume I won’t need to pass module 2 and 4 for my class C, and just need to keep up my 35hrs periodic training? It seems to me that is all I will need from now, from what I can find on the net.
Thanks in advance.
That seems to be the size of it and exactly why the DCPC is so badly flawed.
I was talking to an old mate last week and he took his HGV in 1973, he has just noticed that he was also given his PSV. Wasn’t there some law that prevented a bus driver from operating a lorry? I seem to remember reading that in a headlight magazine
Exactly… I have no problem doing the other parts but as you say shows how flawed the whole thing is.

Go to a training provider who has the practical C and CE training approved for dcpc hours - costs a little more
Generally you get these hours over a basic 5 day course - 14 for doing 1 to 1 and 28 for doing 2 to 1
