FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Can I drive a 7.5 tonne lorry on a car licence?

That depends on your entitlement and the vehicle category shown on your licence. Many drivers will need C1 for a 7.5 tonne vehicle, so it is important to check the exact entitlement you hold.

Do I need Driver CPC as well as C1?

It depends on how and why you are driving the vehicle. Commercial driving roles can bring Driver CPC requirements, while some non-commercial uses may differ. Always check the official requirements for the role and vehicle use.

Which package should I choose for work use?

Many work-focused learners choose the 2 day package. Confident drivers may suit 1 day, while those wanting more preparation often prefer 3 days.
