CAT C HGV (Class 2, Rigid) and Driver CPC. Medical, provisional application, 3 theory tests, 1 practical CPC test (or 35 hours Periodic CPC) and 5 days driver training with test.
This is by far the most common course purchased. It covers everything needed to get you on the road driving and earning as a commercial LGV Class 2 driver. It includes the medical and theory tests, 5 days driver training, and Driver CPC qualification (Initial or Periodic). It is going to take about 8 weeks (from medical) to get everything that is required.
EP Training’s staff will be on hand to assist with the whole process of passing the medical through to passing the practical and theoretical driving tests.
The costs quoted above include the following:
The 'Pass Protection' is optional and buys you two free practical driving retests should you need them. It's a good idea to take the pass protection as it gives you another 2 driving tests; the price otherwise is £450 per retest. The pass protection must be purchased before the start of the driving.
The above process takes on average approximately 8 weeks from start to finish. Prices quoted include VAT and test fees.
CAT C+E (artic) and Driver CPC. Medical, provisional application, 3 theory tests, 1 practical CPC test (or 35 hours Periodic CPC) and 8 days C+E driver training with DVSA driving test.
The option is now to go from car licence (cat B) all the way to C+E (class 1) without doing the cat C (class 2, rigid).
It’s not easy going from driving a car to passing a driving test in a Large Goods Vehicle in such a short space of time.
Ideally, you will have many years of driving experience and some knowledge/experience of reversing trailers. But don’t worry! EP has the facilities and instructors to teach you what you need to know and do to pass the test.
