We hope the
following list of licence types and vehicle categories helps
you to decide which type of training is suitable for your
requirements |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
HGV / LGV
Cat 'C+E' (Class 1)
Any vehicle
over 7.5t that has a detachable or separate trailer, Cat
'C+E' licences can only be applied for once the driver has
taken and passed their Cat 'C'. These are larger vehicles so
tend to be used for long haul, national and international
routes. |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
HGV / LGV Cat
'C' (Class 2)
For vehicles in
a rigid-based body that is over 7.5t – examples include fire
engines, rubbish collection vehicles and any HGV, providing
the vehicle is all one unit (i.e. the cab does not separate
from the trailer). Usually operated in towns and cities. |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Cat C1
For use if
driving any goods vehicle that is above 3.5t and below 7.5t
in weight. If you gained your driving licence before 1997,
you will automatically have this category on your licence.
If you gained your driving licence after 1997, you will have
to take a test. |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Cat C1+E
Same as above,
but gives you the capacity to tow a trailer behind your C1
vehicle |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Cat B+E
This enables
you to tow an item behind a standard car. Again, if you
passed before 1997 you do not need to pass a test to tow a
trailer behind a car – if you passed after 1997, a full
course and driving test is required. |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Cat D
This is a full
bus / coach licence, enabling you to drive any sized
Passenger Carrying Vehicle. |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Cat D1
Enables you to
drive a minibus of 9-16 seats maximum. If you passed your
driving test before 1997 this category will already be on
your licence, if you passed after that date a full course
and test is required. |
