Pass your Category C1 licence test, and you can drive any rigid vehicle between 3.5 tonnes and 7.5 tonnes, like ambulances, removal vans and horseboxes
If you are over 18 and want to gain your Category C1 licence, you’ll find our whole approach to LGV driver training is reassuringly different to other providers.
What To Expect:
- Exceptional 1-to-1 instruction from our own team of highly qualified driver trainers – the only NRI-approved examination centre in Teesside
- A whole host of extra driving tips and advice that prepare you for the real world of LGV driving – helping to ensure your ongoing journey as a truck or van driver is safer, easier and more enjoyable
- Fantastic facilities. We are the only LGV driver training centre in Teesside with our own DVSA-approved on-site test centre. Being able to learn on your actual test course means you’ll feel more confident and familiar with its challenges on test day – and with our very own full fleet of lorries, you’ll always be driving true-to-life vehicles.
How Long Is The LGV Category C1 Course?
This is typically an 3-day course with your on-site test on the 3rd day, but shorter and longer courses can also be arranged depending on your individual needs. We can also offer flexible training, giving you the option to spread your training over a combination of full and half days, should you prefer.
Course Content:
Our DVSA-approved, LGV Category C1 driver course includes both theory and practical stages (covering all aspects) including:
- Manoeuvring and reversing
- Vehicle safety
- Loaading and unloading in line with safety regulations
- Your final assessment
7.5 tonne & Trailer course (Category C1+E)
If you’ve already passed your Category C1 test and want to tow an additional trailer weighing over 750kgs, you also need to take a further C1+E trailer test. This course is perfect if you want to tow more weight without having to retrain on a larger vehicle, with the option to go straight for the C1+E licence, or complete the C1 licence and gain valuable on-road experience before up-skilling – we have a range of courses available.
