PCV D1 Licence Acquisition
&
Initial Driver CPC (if required)
A PCV D1 licence is required to drive a minibus but in order to drive a minibus professionally, you also need a CPC licence to supplement that initial qualification. Our team at the Road Safety Solution in Saltash provide courses for both licences and work with clients across Plymouth and the wider South West region in order to train their delegates.

The PCV D1 licence Acquisition course
Drivers who wish to acquire a D1 PCV licence are required to pass a medical, apply for a D1 provisional licence, pass the Hazard Perception Test and Theory Test for HGV/PCV drivers and pass the practical driving test.
We can book and supply the relevant paperwork for the medical and licence application and also supply study material for the theory and hazard perception tests.
Our courses preparing for the practical test can be arranged for one or two drivers per trainer and take 3 and 4 days respectively, although an extra ½ day may be required per driver dependent on experience and test availability.
The courses include use of a dedicated training area for the required manoeuvring exercises. We will arrange the test to take place at the end of the course and, where required, we can supply a suitable, modern and fully fuelled minibus.
Our aim is to guide the new driver through the complete process to successful licence acquisition.
Initial Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC)
For minibus drivers who wish to drive professionally it is now also necessary to acquire a CPC. The qualification consists of a Theory Case Studies Test and a CPC Practical Test.
We can provide the guidance and training required for the acquisition of the Initial CPC.
