At MT Training Services in Tewkesbury, we are committed to providing top-notch training that builds confidence and competence for all of our trainees. Our mission is to support each individual on their journey to a successful career in the transport industry, and our Driver CPC Module 4 training is no exception. Designed to help drivers meet the practical requirements of the Driver CPC Initial Qualification, this course is essential for anyone looking to build a comprehensive understanding of vehicle safety, security, and emergency readiness.
We’re thrilled to congratulate Kiarash, Wesley, Leon, Ruby, and Wojciech, who have each passed their Module 4 test. Their success is a testament to their hard work, dedication, and the quality of instruction provided by our Tewkesbury training team. Passing this assessment is no small feat, and we’re incredibly proud of their achievements as they move forward with their careers in the transport industry.
What is the Driver CPC Module 4 Test?
The Driver CPC Module 4 test is an essential part of the Driver CPC Initial Qualification, often referred to as the “Demonstration test.” As an approved Module 4 testing site, MT Training Services in Tewkesbury is equipped to provide both training and testing for this critical component of the Driver CPC. The Module 4 test lasts approximately 30 minutes and is structured to evaluate a driver’s knowledge and practical ability in key areas related to vehicle safety, cargo security, and emergency preparedness. This means that our students can take the test right here in Tewkesbury after completing their training, simplifying the path to certification.
To prepare our trainees for success, we ensure that our Module 4 training covers each of the core elements of the test in detail. The Module 4 assessment itself requires a minimum score of 15 out of 20 points in each of the five main topic areas, with an overall pass mark of 80%. This assessment framework is designed to confirm that drivers possess the essential skills to operate their vehicles safely, responsibly, and in compliance with transport regulations.
Key Areas of Module 4 Training
Our Module 4 training focuses on five main areas that directly relate to practical, on-the-job requirements for HGV drivers. Here’s a closer look at the specific skills that our trainees develop:
- Safe Vehicle Loading and Usage: Trainees learn how to load a vehicle properly, considering both safety regulations and vehicle stability. This includes understanding weight distribution and ensuring that cargo is loaded in a way that minimises the risk of accidents or instability. Proper loading techniques are not just about compliance; they’re a core aspect of operating a vehicle safely and responsibly.
- Vehicle and Cargo Security: Ensuring that both the vehicle and its contents are secure is critical in the transport industry. This section of training covers how to lock and secure vehicles correctly, as well as how to safeguard cargo against theft or tampering. We provide instruction on the most up-to-date techniques and devices for cargo security, helping trainees develop the skills to protect valuable goods on the road.
- Preventing Criminality and Illegal Trafficking: One of the significant concerns in today’s transport industry is the risk of illegal trafficking. Our Module 4 training covers strategies for preventing criminal activity, including the potential threat of illegal immigrants using commercial vehicles to cross borders. We help drivers understand how to identify risks, conduct thorough checks, and maintain vigilance to prevent unlawful activities.
- Assessing Emergency Situations: Being prepared for unexpected situations is an essential part of HGV driving. Our instructors teach trainees how to assess various emergency situations, including breakdowns and accidents, and how to respond effectively. This training ensures that drivers know how to remain calm, prioritise safety, and take the correct actions to manage emergencies.
- Preventing Physical Risks: Finally, our Module 4 training addresses physical safety risks associated with HGV driving. This includes instruction on personal safety practices, safe lifting techniques, and methods for avoiding common injuries associated with heavy vehicle operation. By focusing on physical risk prevention, we ensure that our trainees are well-prepared to work in a safe and healthy manner.
Each of these areas is covered in a practical, hands-on format that helps trainees gain confidence in applying their knowledge on the job. With the guidance of our experienced instructors, trainees practise each skill until they’re proficient, ensuring they’re fully prepared to meet the demands of the Module 4 assessment.
The Path to Taking the Module 4 Test
Before taking the Driver CPC Module 4 test, trainees must first pass the Driver CPC part 2 test, which focuses on case studies and theoretical knowledge related to commercial driving. Once this requirement is met, they can book their Module 4 test at an approved testing site. Because MT Training Services in Tewkesbury is certified as a Module 4 testing site, our trainees have the convenience of completing both their training and their assessment in one place. This seamless transition from training to testing allows our students to concentrate on mastering the skills they need without the added stress of finding an external testing location.
