Starting out from Slough

Around Slough the roads range from the A4 Bath Road, the M4 Junctions 5 to 7 and the Slough Trading Estate to tight residential streets, which is a good mix for anyone learning to handle a large vehicle with patience and good observation.

Guaranteed Pass works with learners from Slough and nearby the Home Counties on Driver CPC and the related licences, with honest advice about which category suits the work you want.

Goods or passengers: the full picture

Two families of licence sit side by side here: goods vehicles (HGV/LGV training) and passenger carrying vehicles (PCV training – minibus, bus and coach). Both lead to the same professional step, Driver CPC, with its CPC Module 2 and CPC Module 4 tests.

Slough sits on the M4 and the A4 Bath Road, close to Heathrow and Windsor. The town centre has a large bus station and the rail line runs through.

Driver CPC matters to everyone in Slough who drives a lorry, bus or coach for a living, including drivers in airport logistics, the bus station and coach operators, and distribution along the A4.

The A4 Bath Road has many junctions and bus stops. Anticipation is the key skill.

Your route to a licence, step by step

Provisional licence Start with paperwork: a D4 medical report and a D2 application add the large-vehicle provisional category to your licence (GOV.UK).
Theory test Take Module 1, the two-part theory test – multiple choice plus hazard perception clips (GOV.UK).
CPC Module 2 Prepare for CPC Module 2, where you answer questions on short work scenarios (GOV.UK).
Practical test Train in the vehicle and pass Module 3 in two parts: 3a, the off-road S-shaped reverse (plus uncoupling if you tow), and 3b, vehicle safety questions and an hour on the road (GOV.UK).
CPC Module 4 Complete CPC Module 4, the practical demonstration, to earn your Driver Qualification Card (GOV.UK).

Slough learners ask

Can I train for both a lorry and a bus licence?

Yes. Many drivers hold both HGV/LGV and PCV entitlement. Your Driver CPC periodic hours count for both, so you only need one set of 35 hours every five years.

Do I need to speak perfect English to train?

You need to understand road signs, the theory test and instructions from an examiner. Theory tests offer some support options; ask us about how lessons can be adapted to suit you.

Does training start near Slough?

Tell us where you are in Slough and when you can train when you fill in the enquiry form, and we will explain the training arrangements that fit.

What happens at the D4 medical?

A doctor checks things like eyesight, blood pressure and conditions that affect driving, then completes the D4 report. Read the GOV.UK guidance guidance first if you have a medical condition.
