- Step 6 – Driver Training and Test.
Viamaster can support you with the full process and are here to give you advice where required.
-
What can I tow on a normal licence? Do I need a tow licence for a horsebox or a motorhome?
We would highly advise that you conduct research on government websites as what licence you will need will depend on the weight being towed.
-
How much could I earn once qualified?
This is dependent upon the category of licence gained and if you are looking to work day or night shifts. Pay scales at the moment are exceptionally varied.
-
What are Mod 2 and Mod 4?
If you wish to become a professional LGV driver, you will be required to have a ‘Driver Certificate of Professional Competence’. This is known as the Driver CPC Qualification card (DQC). If you have never held one you will need to complete the Initial Driver Qualification by completing Module 2 and Module 4.
The steps involved are:
- Step 1 – To complete a theory test (Module 2, case study) at a Pearson DVLA test centre. Once this theory test is passed you can move on to step 2.
- Step 2 – Module 4 Practical – This is all completed here at Viamaster. You will complete a classroom based session with Module 4 test with one of our DVSA examiners.
Viamaster can support you with the full process and are here to give you advice where required.
