Module 2 is the part of the Driver CPC that surprises people. It is not a memory test — there is very little to learn by heart. It puts you in seven situations a working driver actually meets and asks what you would do, which makes it the fairest test in the whole process and the easiest one to fail through overthinking.
Officially it is the Driver CPC case study test. You sit it at a theory test centre, on a computer, in the same sort of session as your multiple-choice theory paper.
You get seven case studies. Each one sets out a scenario in a short piece of text, sometimes with a picture or a document, then asks a handful of questions about it. Across all seven there are around 50 questions, and the pass mark is 40 out of 50.
The single most useful habit is to read the whole case study before looking at the questions. The scenarios are written so that a detail early on — a time, a weight, a note about the weather — changes the right answer later.
When two answers both look defensible, pick the one that is safest and most legally correct, not the one that is most commercially convenient. The test is written from the point of view of a professional who says no when saying no is the right call.
And answer as the rules require, not as the yard does. Plenty of experienced drivers fail Module 2 because they answer with what actually happens on the job rather than what is supposed to happen.
Book directly through the official service on GOV.UK. Third-party booking sites appear high in search results, charge a fee on top of the DVSA price, and give you nothing that the official service does not.
You need your driving licence number and a card. DVSA sets and publishes the fee. If you are training with us, we book Module 2 for you and cover the fee as part of your course.
Module 2 is part of initial Driver CPC, so it applies to new professional drivers. If you are taking C1 purely for non-commercial use — your own horsebox or motorhome — you do not need it.
Drivers who held vocational entitlement before the Driver CPC came in were granted initial CPC without sitting Modules 2 and 4. Those grandfather rights cover the initial qualification only: the 35 hours of periodic training every five years still applies.
The Driver CPC case study test — seven real-world scenarios with around 50 questions between them, sat on a computer at a theory test centre.
40 out of 50.
Seven, each with a short scenario followed by several questions.
Through the official booking service on GOV.UK, using your licence number. Avoid third-party sites — they add a markup for nothing. We book and pay for it if you train with us.
It is judgement rather than memory, so there is little to revise. Most failures come from answering with what happens in practice rather than what the rules require, or from skimming the scenario before reading the questions.
Only if you are driving commercially. For your own horsebox or motorhome on C1, no Driver CPC is required at all.
Our Learning Hub includes CPC Module 2 style case studies with worked explanations, alongside the full DVSA-style theory simulator. No card, no sign-up to try it.
