The HGV driving test now consists of two parts: the CPC Module 3A (HGV reverse & uncoupling) and the CPC Module 3B (on-road) practical driving test. At Craig Baker Driver Training, we are a DVSA-approved 3A exam centre with an approved reversing area in Charnock Richard, Chorley, where we conduct all training and testing. When you book an LGV training course with Craig Baker Driver Training, the 3A training and test...
cluded in your course price. If you prefer, you can also book just the 3A reversing test with us.
What is Involved in a Category C 3A Test?
The Category C 3A test consists of an S-shaped reverse into a loading bay. You must stop with the rear of the vehicle within a specific location, simulating reversing onto a loading bay.
What is Involved in a Category CE 3A Test?
The Category CE 3A test includes the same S-shaped reverse as the Category C test but also involves an uncoupling and recoupling of the trailer exercise.
What is the Duration of a Module 3A Test?
There are two categories of tests:
- Category CE: Takes around 35 minutes.
- Category C: Takes around 10 minutes.
How Difficult is it to Reverse an HGV?
Reversing a Class 2 (Category C) HGV is relatively easy once you get used to the width and length of the vehicle. Reversing a Class 1 (Category CE) HGV can be a bit more challenging and includes the uncoupling exercise. However, our professional instructors will guide you through the process every step of the way in a safe and controlled environment. Typically, we conduct all of our Module 3A manoeuvres on the first day(s) of training before any on-road training.
