The topics you will cover
CPC Module 4 lasts about 30 minutes. For lorries the topics include loading safely, preventing illegal immigrants from entering the vehicle, assessing an emergency, reducing physical risks and the walk-round check. Bus and coach drivers cover passenger safety, accessibility, emergencies and the walk-round check.
See GOV.UK for the official breakdown.
How to prepare well
Practise on a real vehicle – touch each item as you explain it. Examiners want to see that you understand why each check matters, not just that you have memorised a list. Our CPC Module 4 page has more detail.
Lorry, bus, coach and minibus routes
If your aim is a minibus, bus or coach seat, PCV training gives you the passenger carrying vehicle entitlement; if it is freight, HGV/LGV training is the way in. For paid driving either way you will add Driver CPC by passing CPC Module 2 and CPC Module 4.
