PCV Test

We will arrange the test for you, there is an extra charge for a Saturday test date.

The Driver Initial CPC is 4 modules: M1 Theory Test, M3 Practical Driving Test, M2 CPC Case Study, M4 CPC Practical off road test. All 4 modules are compulsory, we will help you prepare for this.

Please note that M1 and M3 are the standard theory and practical tests.

You can use our vehicle in which to take the test or a vehicle from your business or employer. A PCV test vehicle is required to be a very specific standard, so please check with us first if not using one of our vehicles.

PCV Driving Style

Driving a bus, coach or minibus is all about keeping the passenger safe and comfortable. We will teach you how to drive smoothly with passengers in mind, and at the same time keep your passengers, the vehicle and other road users safe.

This is the eco-friendly style now required in the practical driving test. Accelerating, braking, cornering all need to be smooth and controlled - in fact just elegant!
