How The Test Works

The Module 4 is a practical demonstration test carried out by a TL Training registered DSA examiner from the TL Training test centre in Bromborough. The test requires you to demonstrate competence when carrying out a variety of security checks on your vehicle.

You’re tested on being able to:

• Load the vehicle following safety rules and to keep it secure
• Stop trafficking in illegal immigrants
• Assess emergency situations
• Reduce physical risks to yourself or others
• Do a walkaround vehicle safety check

The test is made up of 5 topics from the Driver CPC syllabus. You can score up to 20 points for each topic.

To pass you have to score at least 15 out of 20 in each topic area and have an overall score of at least 80 out of 100.
