Can't thank you enough. I watched your video a couple of times yesterday, went for my cpc test today and got 100% pass mark. Good job I did watch your vid because my instructor was cutting it fine with getting us trained for the test and was rushing through it all. Thanks again 👍
Thanks for this Video. Definitely more comprehensive than the 4 hrs at the training company. Would not have passed my Mod 4 without this. Cheers to you.
brilliant video I also have my cpc mod 4 soon and as well as my 3 hours training before my demonstration test I will certainly be referring back to this video as it provides all the information needed to pass the test. Credit to Ben Shaw training for offering this video to the public to build on gaining the relevant knowledge for the cpc module 4 test.
very clear, well spoken content, no hickups, very bold and exceptional advice. I've written a tonne of notes just off this video.. will sure to pass my CPC with this. thank you very much my friend. I live in Kent but if I was up in Lancashire I would most definitely use your services
I have to say this is by far the best training video that I have found online,from start to finish it covers all the you need to know in detail, it was very helpful. 👍👍
Informative and to the point, very well put together video for someone like myself about to do my initial CPC. I will certainly be sharing this video to give others a helping hand, keep up the good work!
Ben you are a top man very well done for this video. Passed my mod 4 today. I this video recommend to anyone preparing to take cpc mod 4 demonstration test. God bless Ben Shaw.
thanks very much for this, i have this test on Wednesday and i have been walking through these steps in my head, hopefully i will have it sorted on the day.
Thanks for the video, it did help me with revising/preparing for the DCPC Module 4 training/test this evening and my training provider could evidently see it, I fortunately passed first time with a score of 95% with my training provider examining me.
I have always been interested to be a professional Truck Driver & this video presentation presentation gave me more insights than I had thought. This video reinforced the CPC module 4 teaching that I was given by Ultima HGV Driver Training. I will be forever grateful to the instructors and personnel of Ultima.. I passed the CPC module 4 on first attempt thanks to this clear video presentation....
Ben Shaw Training Ltd I passed with 100% so thank you SO much for your video it helped me massively. I am so happy! Officially able to drive a lorry. Just need one now. I have also been provisionally offered a job at the transport firm I trained so I am very pleased. Thanks again.
Fantastic video that i have watched for the 3rd time today, I am doing my MOD 4 tomorrow, thank you for the help with this video it has really helped me.
passed my mod 4 the other day only using this video for training, it was raining so they never brought out the trolly for the restraining load exercise. got 90% lost a point for checklist ...think I forgot reg plate lights and lost a point for vehicle load, not sure what I missed there. anyway thanks great video its the reason I passed.
Thank you 🙂 I passed my Mod4 on Friday easily after continously watching this video. And passed my class C on Monday 👍 going to go straight in for the C+E once I get my licence back. Thanks
Thank you very much, it’s amazing a video made 5years ago could be useful in passing my test yesterday(2020) and in another country(Ireland).highly recommend
sean williams I’m glad it was helpful. We’ve got plans to make a new (better) one as soon as the weather picks up. All the best with your driving career! Ben.
Im about to be made redundant so I'm either bus driving or doing my LGV. This video is brilliant and I shall be watching again and again so I can do it in my sleep
slabby rider Hi pal, I’m glad you like the video. I’d say there is better paid work as a Large Goods Vehicle driver. Have you passed you driving tests yet? Ben.
Ben Shaw Training Ltd not yet, got my provisional but only thanks to the change of eyesight requirements or I would have done it years ago. I'm looking at £24.5k bus driving plus o/t. But if I do my LGV I may consider doing the class 1 straight after
great video, thanks. got my tests coming up soon so this helped a lot. presented in a much nicer way than a lot of other videos. straight forward and factual. SHARING the info, not 'teaching' the info like some of the condescending idiots on you tube.
Doing cpc4 tomorrow. This video really helps and isn't too scary like the others. It has a couple of extra useful tips like how to tidy the loose end on the ratchet strap Some practical tips on checking for illegal immigrants and hidden packages. Down-to-earth and helpful. Thanks.
Apparently there are some new questions from 1st December. Haven't done any tests yet this month, so not really sure. From what I can gather it's mainly digital tachos that they've added. It may be worth finding out what you can online about them. All the best.
Hi again. Thanks for the advice. I passed so i'm happy. There were no questions on the digi tacho specifically but apparently some questions have been removed from the test so things have changed a bit. I got a question about checking for drugs in the lights so I had to turn headlights on and look for shadows in the front and rear light clusters. That's the only thing that wasn't on the training. I needed a lot of prompting because the structure of the questions and the repetition confused me a bit but the examiner was ok to prompt me. I knew the answers as I check vehicles regularly and most of it is too obvious if you know what i mean. All went well. I think training schools in general need to give more time to students one to one to make sure that they have some proper practise demonstrating the checks, specifically as we have all payed a lot of money for this. That's the only gripe. Thanks for the videos. They cover a lot of stuff and each one gives a different perspective on the cpc test. Thanks again.
Antony Brown you’re welcome. It’s a bit old now and slightly out of date. We have a new video, but I’m afraid that one is only for our customers. Good luck with your test. 👍🏻
There was nothing like this in 1989 when i first started , you basically showed ya licence and they gave you a vehicle , no wonder their was so many accidents and dangerous vehicles on the road , some of the shit iv driven should of been in the scrapyard , pleased to see that things have started to improve , im actually thinking of going back to it ????
+kingtyson999 hi mate. In some ways it's the easiest of the test. I did a hours training before hand with my instructor and then did the test. You are aloud a check list to do your daily check. The biggest piece of advice I can give is don't just tell the examiner what you would do, you need to show him/her by going through the actions. And don't just check one side of the vehicle! Relax mate I had a grumpy examiner and it still was not bad at all. Good luck Kirbs 👍🏻
Just passed my cpc today thanks to all the help from Ben Shaw, anyone looking to book there cpc I would highly recommend you to use Ben Shaw. Thanks guys, Jason Gray :)
Thank you Ben Shaw for your reply. I am not at a pc all the time, so sorry I missed your reply. I been told I just need a cpc no test for a 7 half tonne van. I am getting my digicard as well. Please tell me where your training centre is and how much for a cpc refresher no test?
Getting my test soon but not had any lessons on driving yet, I'm worried that I might not know exactly where the battery isolator switch etc will be as I won't be familiar with the vehicle? Should I be worried? The training company I'm using said most people do it this way?
I need some advice off Ben Shaw training regards my practical I recently did if they could get back to with an email address so I can send them a vid of it please
This video is very helpful, only one comment, the audio keeps going in and out, so sometimes it's hard to hear what is being said. but otherwise, very good :D
Fraser Kirk thanks for your comment. We have a new video now that is more up to date and the sound is much clearer. The new video is only for our clients though, but we’re happy to keep this old for for everyone else to use. 😊
I didn't have to take Module 4. It seems valuable to new drivers, I was well informed by your video, much as the other introductory Driver CPC has for beginners. But wouldn't you agree the Repeat DCPC of 35hrs is an absolute fraud?
Thanks for you're input. As for the question about the Periodic Training, I'm sorry to say I've wasted enough of my life debating this subject and can only advise that you bring it up with your local MP. :-)
I couldn't hear what you were actually saying when you were talking about where to place a half load. When you walked down to the back of the vehicle you become inaudible. this is one area that I'm not quite sure of, I would appreciate a clearer explanation of this if it is possible. I understand that it has got to be roughly about a meter from the back axle, is this what you were saying whilst you were near the back axle? Great video btw.
I passed my car test before 97 so have C1.everywhere it says I need to take the 35 hours before 2014 instead of part 2 and 4 But its 2017 I'm getting different opinions on this I can't even book the case studies the DVLA won't let me. One driving school has said they can get it for me. Can you tell me the right route to get this CPC. Thanks
Felix Herald you can do either route. They changed it about 18 months ago, but the DVSA system still doesn't work for drivers with 'acquired rights' to do the Module 2 & Module 4 route. Take a look on our Driver CPC web page and see if it makes sense to you. All the best, Ben. www.benshawtraining.co.uk/trainingcourses/driver_cpc/

Passed yesterday, thanks the vid helped 👍🏻
Iv got my one coming up in 2 and a half weeks. Do you have any valuable tips??? It seems hard.
+kingtyson999 hi mate. In some ways it's the easiest of the test. I did a hours training before hand with my instructor and then did the test. You are aloud a check list to do your daily check.
The biggest piece of advice I can give is don't just tell the examiner what you would do, you need to show him/her by going through the actions. And don't just check one side of the vehicle!
Relax mate I had a grumpy examiner and it still was not bad at all.
Good luck Kirbs 👍🏻
Brilliant il defo take that advice into account. Thank you so much and good luck in your driving career . Drive safe
+kingtyson999 thank you matey, you too 😀 see you on the road.
Is it still accurate that once you pass you are covered to drive for the first 5 years commercially?
Just passed my cpc today thanks to all the help from Ben Shaw, anyone looking to book there cpc I would highly recommend you to use Ben Shaw. Thanks guys, Jason Gray :)
Cheers Jason. Well done pal. Ben
Hello I have to take my cpc pcv case study test next month and wanted to know if there are any hints or tips to pass?
Brilliant thanks
thx Ben passed first time
Thank you Ben Shaw for your reply. I am not at a pc all the time, so sorry I missed your reply. I been told I just need a cpc no test for a 7 half tonne van. I am getting my digicard as well. Please tell me where your training centre is and how much for a cpc refresher no test?
36:21, i didn't think i'd laugh watching this but i couldn't help myself with that
Wow 5 years, thats gone fast ben
Excellent
Getting my test soon but not had any lessons on driving yet, I'm worried that I might not know exactly where the battery isolator switch etc will be as I won't be familiar with the vehicle? Should I be worried? The training company I'm using said most people do it this way?
Hi Bryn, the training provider should at least familiarise you with the vehicle, showing you where everything is. Ben.
I need some advice off Ben Shaw training regards my practical I recently did if they could get back to with an email address so I can send them a vid of it please
This video is very helpful, only one comment, the audio keeps going in and out, so sometimes it's hard to hear what is being said. but otherwise, very good :D
Fraser Kirk thanks for your comment. We have a new video now that is more up to date and the sound is much clearer. The new video is only for our clients though, but we’re happy to keep this old for for everyone else to use. 😊
Just like to say thanks for this video it helped a lot and I passed FIRST time thanks again
you didn't show how to do the dolly knot? great vid by the way
Poor voice quality but still very helpful. Thank you.
I didn't have to take Module 4. It seems valuable to new drivers, I was well informed by your video, much as the other introductory Driver CPC has for beginners. But wouldn't you agree the Repeat DCPC of 35hrs is an absolute fraud?
Thanks for you're input. As for the question about the Periodic Training, I'm sorry to say I've wasted enough of my life debating this subject and can only advise that you bring it up with your local MP. :-)
I couldn't hear what you were actually saying when you were talking about where to place a half load. When you walked down to the back of the vehicle you become inaudible. this is one area that I'm not quite sure of, I would appreciate a clearer explanation of this if it is possible. I understand that it has got to be roughly about a meter from the back axle, is this what you were saying whilst you were near the back axle? Great video btw.
I passed my car test before 97 so have C1.everywhere it says I need to take the 35 hours before 2014 instead of part 2 and 4
But its 2017 I'm getting different opinions on this
I can't even book the case studies the DVLA won't let me.
One driving school has said they can get it for me.
Can you tell me the right route to get this CPC.
Thanks
Felix Herald you can do either route. They changed it about 18 months ago, but the DVSA system still doesn't work for drivers with 'acquired rights' to do the Module 2 & Module 4 route. Take a look on our Driver CPC web page and see if it makes sense to you. All the best, Ben.

No it's fine to turn it off.
