Policy & Compliance


BIFAlink A pass letter is valid for two years and the


driver must complete and pass the Driver CPC module four practical demonstration test within the two years, otherwise the driver will have to complete module two case studies test again.


The practical modules are:


Part three – licence acquisition (practical test of driving ability) The driving ability test is a practical test that lasts for one hour and 30 minutes including: • Vehicle safety questions, practical road driving and off-road exercises.


Part four – driver CPC practical test (vehicle safety demonstration) The Driver CPC Module 4 is an interactive test where the driver is expected to demonstrate and explain a number of operations that are required by a lorry driver other than the driving itself. To gain the full Driver CPC qualification, drivers


must pass all four parts. However, if they want a vocational licence, but will not be driving for a living, they will only need to take and pass part one and part three. Drivers can be fined up to £1,000 for driving


separately but it does not matter in which order the driver completes them. As long as the driver passes both within two


years of each other, the driver will get a theory test certificate. Once the driver has passed Driver CPC


module one, the driver must pass the Driver CPC module three driving test within two years, or will have to pass the module one theory test again.

Part two – case studies The test consists of seven case studies which the driver works through on a computer. The case studies are basically short scenarios based on situations that are highly likely to happen in one’s working life as a lorry driver. The test has been written by industry experts and uses realistic scenarios that a lorry driver may encounter when out on the road.
