I have to take a theory test before I do my Cat C training (rigids 7.5t+).

But there are 5 to choose. All are CPC I think but which ones do I need to actually drive a HGV for a supermarket for example? It says some jobs only need 2?
 
"Driver CPC part 1 test: theory

You can book the part 1 theory test of the Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) as soon as you’ve got your provisional licence.

The test is made up of 2 parts - multiple choice and hazard perception. You have to book both parts separately, but you can take them on the same day.

It doesn’t matter which one you take first but you need to pass both within 2 years of each other to get your theory test certificate."

It's ok, found the answer... it's one a series of linked pages to get the answer I needed. :)

The rest are actually the 'proper' CPC that I'm guessing I do after my test.
 
No, passed my car license a month after it changed!

I was just wondering which one was the actual theory test that I NEED to take before I can train for a class C. By the looks of it, it is the very first theory and hazard perception is the actual theory test I need. All others are CPC which are required to get a job as you say. Thanks for confirming.
 
Your LGV multiple choice (Category C) test has been booked.
Your LGV hazard perception (Category C) test has been booked.

I'll get these 2 out of the way first. Then will go through case studies when I start training. :) Cheers for the advice.
