Synopsis

This is the only official guide from the Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency specifically designed to help bus and coach drivers prepare for their initial Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC), by focusing on the syllabus of two new modules: case studies (part two of the CPC test) and the practical demonstration test (part four of the CPC test). This guide explains the purpose of Driver Certificate of Professional Competence and the process of gaining Driver CPC and provides essential guidance on the subject areas that will be tested in the case studies module, including two official examples. It clearly describes what drivers will be tested on in the practical demonstration test and how they will be tested. This new edition contains updated information on periodic training and ecosafe driving. There is lively full colour photography throughout, to explain key principles and techniques plus a glossary of technical terms. This official guide has been prepared in close consultation with a working group of industry experts and experienced PCV trainers from GoSkills, First Group, Arriva and East London Bus Group, so it is up-to-date with current industry thinking.

About this title

Review:

Attractively presented in strong, positive colours highlighted by the many illustrations, section titles and clear, concise texts, it is a mine of essential, instantly assimilable information... At £9.99, this guide is an invaluable source of information and revision - and, indeed, a potential life saver for coach drivers and their passengers, who face daily the hazards infesting today's often ill-maintained and overcrowded highways. --Review in The ROSPA Occupational Safety & Health Journal (December 2008)
