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.

Customer Reviews
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.

I'm nearly 1 year old and I live with Andy and Nikki. My job is Head of Security. I love to play with anything made from cardboard! I also do Meet and Greet for every visitor to the office. To relax on my days off I love to play football and then go for a swim in the local ponds.
Alex Swan
Alex is a qualified instructor who joined us a couple of years ago as the next generation of Swan’s to future-proof the business. As he’s the youngest of us all, he’s teaching us all a few modern things along the way. Alex is involved in the day-to-day running of the business and has a wealth of knowledge about trucks since he has been around them from such a young age. He is also a 3A and mod 4 assessor.
James Blackburn
My background is largely business development within the commercial insurance industry. I undertook my CE with Andy and the team three years ago and have come back to focus on further organic growth of the business. Whether you’re an individual, or a business looking for support I’d be happy to have a chat and discuss how we may be able to assist.
