City & Guilds Assured Prohibition of Large Good Vehicles (LGV) over 7.5t
The programme of study has been designed to complement the other Motor Vehicle Qualifications and is aimed at both Section / Traffic / Road Policing or Motor Patrol officers and covers all common defects easily detected at the roadside during routine checks.

In addition to the theoretical aspect of this programme, officers will participate in road side checks during which time they will be required to fully inspect and report on a variety of Large Goods Vehicles (LGV) both Rigid and articulated. During the inspection day / evening candidates will be guided, watched, and assessed by tutors. Officers will be expected to:
- make an informed decision as to the severity of any defect found.
- decide upon what action is necessary.
- use the Categorisation of Defects Manual to confirm their decision.
- provide feedback to the driver/rider of defects found.
- issue the appropriate Prohibition Notice PG9 (Qualified Officer in attendance)
