Everything you need to know about the HGV theory training & test

If you’re getting ready to take your LGV/HGV theory test, you’re likely to want to know everything you can about what’s expected from you. So, with this in mind, we’ve put together this extensive guide that provides you with everything you need to know to get a pass first time.

Getting through your HGV theory test is an important, initial step taken on the road to becoming a professional driver. Here we take an in-depth look at the entire process of the HGV theory side of driver qualification. This also forms part of the Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) that all new drivers need to pass and then keep up to date to remain on the road.

Who Should take the HGV Theory Test ?

You should be taking your HGV theory test if:

• You’re looking to get your PCV/HGV licence for the first time or moving from PCV to HGV or vice versa.
• Or you have acquired rights* and you’re now looking to upgrade to Cat C/C+E/PCV licence.
• Candidates that obtained their CAT C Licence before 10th September 2009, You’ll need to complete an initial cpc which includes Module 2 Theory cpc case studies test & module 4 practical demonstration.

* Acquired rights mean you have the entitlement for C1, which means you have grandfather rights & this means you will only need to complete a periodic CPC (5 Session of 7hrs) classroom-based training.

What’s Included in the HGV Theory Test ?

The LGV / HGV theory test includes three separate parts:

• Multiple-choice questions
• A Hazard Perception Test
• The CPC Case Study

MULTIPLE CHOICE 

What’s included in the multiple-choice questions.

The multiple-choice element of the test involves a total of 100 questions. Module 1 is made up of these questions and the hazard perception test.

What Topics are Covered in the Theory Test?

The subjects covered in the multiple-choice part of the HGV theory test have been chosen to test the applicant’s overall knowledge of being an HGV driver.

Topics you’ll encounter will include, but are not limited to:

• General traffic laws, including signage and speed.
• Rules regarding working hours and necessary rest periods.
• How to obtain and maintain proper documentation.
• The responsibility drivers have for their cargo.
• The proper techniques used for loading/unloading vehicles.
• Sharing the road with other drivers.

It’s important to know that this is just a partial list of the topics that might come upon in your HGV theory test.

What’s the pass mark?

Out of the 100 marks available, you’ll have to attain 85 in order to get a pass. Both the multiple-choice and hazard perception tests are carried out on screen.

How Much Time Will I Have to Complete My HGV Theory Test ?

In terms of duration, you’ll have a total of 2 hours, with 1 hour 15 minutes for the multiple-choice questions and 45 minutes allotted for the hazard perception test.

What Happens Once I’ve Passed?

As soon as you’ve passed, you’ll be given your pass certificate, which contains the pass numbers for both the multiple-choice and hazard perception tests.

What Happens if I Fail My HGV Theory Test ?

If you’re not quite ready or simply having an off-day, you shouldn’t be too downhearted if you fail, as you can retake your HGV theory test. Simply get in touch and we’ll get you booked for your next test when you’re ready.

HAZARD PERCEPTION

What’s included in the hazard perception test.

  The next part of the HGV theory test is the Hazard Perception element, which assesses your ability to spot and react to potential dangers you may encounter on the road. As mentioned before, the test is taken on-screen.

During your hazard perception test, you’ll be presented with 19 separate video clips, with each one lasting roughly 60 seconds. Each video is shown from the perspective of the driver, with a variety of hazards arising, which might cause you to take immediate action. These are specially designed CGI videos ( DVSA revision material ).

They include:

• Emergency vehicles approaching with flashing lights.
• Parked vehicles on one side of the road.
• A pedestrian suddenly appearing from between two vehicles to cross the road.
• Children playing by the side of the road with the potential to step out into.
• Cyclists who aren’t clearly indicating their intentions.
• Traffic restrictions such as traffic lights or speed bumps.
• Poor visibility caused by fog or other inclement weather conditions.
• Hazardous driving conditions involving wet or icy roads.

Anything that may cause you to alter your speed or take evasive action would be deemed as a hazard and you’ll need to keep your eyes peeled. This is not an exhaustive list, but it gives you a very good idea about what to expect.

What is the Pass Mark?

There are 100 possible marks available during the hazard test and you’ll be expected to score at least 67 to pass. Out of the 19, 18 of the videos will feature one scorable hazard, whilst one – and you’re not told which one – will feature two. Each scorable hazard will be worth up to 5 points, with the amount awarded dependent on the amount of time taken to notice the danger. This is why the clip with two hazards in it is so important.

How Do I Actually Take Hazard Perception Test?

As each clip plays out, you’ll have your hand on the mouse button and you should click each time you see something that you deem as a developing hazard. When you click is when you’re saying to the examiner that you would take action e.g. change your road position or change speed.

CPC CASE STUDY

What are cpc case studies.

If you’re taking your initial CPC the first step would be the CPC Case Studies test. This particular element can be started as soon as you’ve got your provisional licence, meaning that you don’t have to complete the rest of the CPC qualification or the HGV theory test before you do so.

The actual test is comprised of 7 case studies which you view one by one on a computer. You’ll be given 1 hour and 15 minutes to complete the test, with each 6-8 multiple choice questions being asked about each of the 7 case studies.

What’s the Pass Mark for the CPC Case Studies?

The pass mark required for the CPC Case Studies element is 40 out of 50.

When Do I Get told Whether I’ve Passed?

The good news is that you’ll get told on the day whether you’ve passed or failed. If you pass, you’ll get a letter that’s valid for two years. You’ll need to complete your HGV theory test and the CPC part 4 practical demonstration test during that time. If you don’t, you’ll have to take this part again.

What Happens if I Fail the CPC Case Studies Test?

If you fail, your results letter will detail which parts of the test you failed and why. You won’t have to wait long to take the test again though, as you can re-book immediately and take it again after 3 clear working days.

Medical Requirements of the HGV Theory Test

In order to be considered for your HGV theory test, you need to first take an HGV medical test. This isn’t a drug test, rather it is to determine whether you’re physically fit enough to drive a lorry. When applying for your provisional licence, you need to make sure that you attach the medical report to your application to the DVLA.

This is an important step, as you won’t be able to take your HGV theory test without your provisional licence being approved.

Preparing for Your HGV Theory Test

We believe that the best way to ensure that you’re fully prepared for your HGV theory test is to make sure you get plenty of practice in beforehand. You can either prepare by yourself or utilise our software and training, which we absolutely know works. Some 92% of our students pass their theory test at the first time of asking an that’s because we concentrate on effective preparation techniques.

‘Practice makes perfect’ is a well-used phrase and it certainly applies to the HGV theory test. We encourage all of our students to practice, practice and practice again, as it breeds familiarity and offers the best possible chance of passing the real thing when it comes around.

Practice helps in a variety of ways:

• Familiarity – As we just mentioned, practice breeds familiarity, not just with the subject matter, but also with how the information is presented during the test itself.
• Repetition – Retaining information is often best achieved through repetition. It’s how a young child first learns to speak and once learnt, it’s often learnt forever. Your HGV theory test prep should apply the same principle of repetition for best results.
• Confidence – Knowing that you’re getting progressively better helps to build confidence and a confident student who knows all the answers is unlikely to fail.

Trainee HGV drivers who sign up with HGVT are provided with state-of-the-art software that allows them to practice HGV theory test content as often as they like. Accessible via PC or smartphone, you can get in the practice you need wherever you are and whatever the time of day.

At HGVT, we are fully committed to helping you get through all aspects of your HGV training . There are no companies out there with a dedicated team to assist when you get stuck with your HGV theory test training, however, that doesn’t mean that there is no help or advice available.

About Driver CPC

What is the driver cpc.

The Driver CPC is a professional qualification for bus, coach, and lorry drivers. Although the directive was passed in 2003, it was not introduced for Passenger Carrying Vehicles (PCV) drivers until 10 th September 2008 and then for Large Goods Vehicle (LGV) drivers until 10 th September 2009.

Once qualified, drivers receive a Driver Qualification Card (DQC) and must keep this with them when driving professionally. In addition to the initial qualification to obtain the Driver CPC, professional drivers are required to undertake periodic training totalling 35 hours every 5 years in order to retain the Driver CPC.

What is the purpose of the Driver CPC?

The main aims of the Driver CPC are threefold:

• To improve the skills and knowledge of bus, coach and lorry drivers prior to them starting to drive professionally.
• To continue to develop and enhance their skills and knowledge for the duration of their working lives.
• To improve road safety Europe wide with more highly qualified drivers.

Who does the Driver CPC apply to?

The Driver CPC legislation applies to the UK licence categories C, C1, D, and D1. New drivers entering the industry need to pass an initial Driver CPC qualification before they will be able to drive professionally and this can be taken alongside the vocational driving test. However, all drivers will still need to complete the periodic training of 35-hours within 5 years if they wish to keep the Driver CPC.

How do you get a Driver CPC?

In order to obtain the Driver CPC initial qualification drivers are required to complete 4 modules:

Consists of a theory test which comes in two parts lasting a total of 2.5 hours:

• Multiple choice
• Hazard perception

Consists of a theory test based on case studies lasting 1.5 hours.

Modules 1 and 2 can be taken in any order but must be completed before moving on to modules 3 and 4.

Consists of a practical driving ability test lasting 1.5 hours broken down into 3 parts:

• Reversing exercises at the test centre
• A minimum of 1 hour on the road
• An assessment of the eco-safe driving technique

Consists of a practical demonstration test in relation to vehicle safety, lasting half an hour.

Whilst you can take modules 3 and 4 in any order, you must have completed module 1 in order to attempt module 3, and you must have completed module 2 before you attempt module 4.

What’s Included in Module 1 of the Driver CPC?

What’s included in the module 2 case studies of the driver cpc.

Unfortunately, passing the components in module 1 is not enough on its own to get you the Driver CPC, you will also have to pass module 2. This is tested on the computer and uses a series of case studies based on real-life scenarios that you may be faced with when working professionally. You will be asked questions about the scenarios written by experts in the field. These questions will mostly be multiple-choice, but some others: require you to click on a photograph or image; are multiple response, or; are free-text.

Each test consists of 7 case studies containing between 6 and 8 multiple choice questions about the given scenario. Examples could include anything from driving in icy conditions to violations of driving hours rules and are designed to test your knowledge and understanding in practice. The maximum score for the test is 50, with a pass mark of 40 required. The test lasts a maximum of 1.5 hours and must be passed before attempting module 4 or driving professionally. Without a DQC, you can’t drive for profit.

Module 2 Conversion Test

Drivers who hold a Driver CPC in one vehicle category (e.g. PCV or LGV) already and want to attain one in another category will have to undertake a module 2 conversion test. This test will consist of 50 questions in relation to 10 case studies. To obtain the Driver CPC in the new category they will also need to complete parts one, three and four in full.

What’s Included in the Module 3 Practical Driving Ability Test?

As noted above, the practical test contains 3 parts:

• A reversing exercise carried out in the test centre
• A minimum of 1 hour on public roads, which, depending on where you take your test, MAY INCLUDE driving on motorways. Exercises undertaken will be related to the specific vehicle you wish to obtain the Driver CPC.
• An assessment of eco-driving safety. This involves the examiner noting your control over the vehicle and ability to plan your driving appropriately. However, this part of the assessment will not count towards the test results. Nevertheless, the examiner will give you feedback on your eco-safety performance at the end of the test. The test lasts 1.5 hours and will include a minimum of 1 hour driving on public roads.

What’s Included in the Module 4 Practical Demonstration of Vehicle Safety Test?

To attain the Driver CPC modules 1,2 and 3 are not enough, you will also have to pass module 4. This is another practical test with a particular focus on vehicle safety and was specially designed with advice and support from industry experts. The half-hour test requires participants to demonstrate their ability and knowledge in a number of areas:

• Vehicle Loading – Ability to load your vehicle with appropriate consideration for safety rules and the proper understanding of vehicle use will be assessed. This includes an assessment of your knowledge of fuel consumption optimisation and the transmission system.
• Vehicle Security – Ability to maintain the security of your vehicle and contents will be assessed.
• Prevention of Criminality and Trafficking – You will be assessed on your ability to prevent criminality and the trafficking of illegal immigrants.
• Emergency situations – Your ability in terms of assessing emergency situations will be tested.
• Prevention of Physical Risk – Your capacity to prevent physical risk will be assessed.
• Walk Round Vehicle Safety Check – You will be required to demonstrate your knowledge through a physical safety check of the vehicle.

In LGV tests you may also be required to demonstrate your ability securing loads using a specialist piece of equipment. All-in-all the test is marked on all of the topic areas covered in the Driver CPC syllabus with a pass mark of 15 out of 20 required in each of the 5 syllabus areas and an overall pass-mark of 80% also necessary to obtain the Driver CPC.

What is Required for Periodic Training?

You will be required to undertake 35 hours of periodic training every 5 years to retain the Driver CPC license for professional driving. The 35 hours can be staggered and taken across multiple blocks. However, the minimum amount of time for a single block is 7 hours and the courses undertaken must be taken with approved training centres in order to count.

Those holding both a PCV and an LGV license are only required to complete one 35-hour batch of training every 5 years rather than 35 hours each per licence.

Who has Acquired Rights for the Driver CPC?

A number of drivers have ‘acquired rights’ which means they are not required to sit the initial part of the driver CPC qualification due to their experience level. Acquired rights holders are those professional drivers with:

• an LGV licence passed before the 10 th of September 2009, and/or
• a PCV license passed before 10 th September 2008

However, even drivers with ‘acquired rights’ will need to comply with the periodic training requirement. They will only receive their DQC once they have completed their first 35 hours of specific training which will remain valid until:

• 9 th September 2019 for LGV drivers
• 9 th September 2018 for PCV drivers
• 9 th September 2019 for holders of both licence

Periodic training has set deadlines for completion, with the next deadlines:

• 9 th September 2024 for LGV drivers
• 9 th September 2023 for PCV drivers
• 9 th September 2024 for holders of both licence

Proving the Driver CPC

Proving you hold the Driver CPC for professional drivers is possible with the Driver Qualification Card (DQC), or a valid driving licence for someone with ‘acquired rights’, which MUST be carried at all times when driving professionally.

All professional LGV and PCV (lorry and bus) drivers legally must hold a Driver Certificate of Professional Competence certificate / Driver CPC qualification before they drive for living. Bains Training Services is one stop leading Driver CPC training provider in London to train you for Driver CPC qualifacations.

There are four modules in the Driver CPC: two are the same as the tests you’ll take for getting your LGV, PCV licence.

Module 2 Driver CPC Case study

Candidates must pass the case study test before they take the practical D emonstration test. Like the theory test, it is a computer based test. There are different case studies for LGV drivers and PCV drivers. Case studies are short scenarios that you may face in your daily practice. We deliver Module 2 Driver CPC training in our office or you can buy study material from us and parctice at home on your computer. For module 2 training we sell DVDs and books to read and practice.

The case study test lasts 75 minutes and covers 7 case studies, 6 - 8 multiple choice questions from each case study with a possible maximum score of 50. Candidates need to score at least 40 out of 50 to pass the test. Before you start the test, you can have a practice session of up to 15 minutes.
