A Category C Licence allows drivers to drive Rigid vehicles over 3.5 tonnes but must not exceed 32 tonnes.

You will need to pass a medical with a registered GP, which we can help you with.

Once the medical is passed you will need to send your licence away to have the provisional entitlement added to it by DVLA.

Next step is to undertake your theory tests then you van move onto the practical driving training and test.

Should you want to earn your living from driving you will also need to pass Modules 2 and 4.

A Category C+E or Class 1 Licence is the most comprehensive HGV licence you can hold. With this licence drivers can drive and handle a draw-bar or articulated vehicle.

The E part of the category C+E licence stands for entitlement and means that the holder can go up to or over 750KG in trailer weight.

If you already hold a current Category C (Class 2) licence you can undertake the training for C+E  (Class 1) without the need to pass further medicals or theories.

From the 15th November 2021 the UK Government removed the requirement to hold a Class 2 licence before progressing to Class 1.

You are still required to pass a Medical and your theory tests prior to undertaking the practical driving training and test.

The training course is delivered over 6 days with the test on Day 7.

We have our own designated, DVSA-approved and accredited reverse area.
This means you will be taught your reverse exercise at the same place as you take your test.

To perfect the art of going backwards you will have access to unlimited practise.
All of our cat C+E instructors are also qualified 3A assessors however the instructor teaching you is unable to assess you so one of our other instructors will assess you instead.

Customer Reviews

Richard Passing Class 1 C+E HGV

I wanted to leave my current long term job and needed help in arranging the whole process and I am so glad I found Andy Swan HGV Training as they are brilliant and arranged everything for me. From arranging the medical through to organising all of my theories and practicals I passed not only Class 2 but also went on to pass Class 1.

I then took the opportunity to spend a few days out with one of the Agency drivers as Andy Swan not only trains drivers but can also find them work through their Agency.

Whilst out with the Agency driver I was shown and guided on the day to day activates such as strapping loads, curtain sided trailers, drivers breaks and working time etc.

I am now loving my new life as Class 1 HGV Driver and highly recommend you go visit or call Andy Swan HGV Training.
