If you are considering working as a Paramedic or in the Ambulance Service, as a minimum, you will need to hold LGV C1 entitlement. For some regions, you'll also need to hold a PCV D1 entitlement.

Our 5, 7 or 10 day courses are specially discounted for prospective Paramedic/Ambulance Service personnel.

We advise your ideal course duration by completing a simple telephone questionnaire or an on-road assessment. Our C1's - 5.5 Renault Mascot and Ford Transits are ideal training vehicles.

You don't have to pass the LGV C1, 7.5 tonne truck licence first. Go straight to the LGV C licence and drive any rigid lorry up to 32 tonnes. After passing the LGV C, you'll be able to drive both C1 and LGV C vehicles.

And after passing C you can go on to LGV C+E, in a back to back course, to drive trailers including articulated vehicles and drawbar combination up to 44 tonnes
 

Drivers and companies need to understand and must comply with legislation to help keep the transportation of dangerous goods safe. Legislation is in place to ensure drivers gain specialist knowledge and skills and understand the practical application of specific health and safety techniques.

Employers are responsible for making sure existing staff are fully qualified and that new staff have already or are willing to gain relevant qualifications.

Anyone new to the qualification will need an INITIAL course. Existing ADR holders can take REFRESHER courses. Certificates are valid for 5 years. In the final year prior to expiration, a short re-certification course re-qualifies the driver for a further 5 years
 

Vehicles can have:

•Manual level controls
•Remote Controls
•Brick grab attachment
•Hook attachment
When booking your training, please remember to tell us if you have any particular requirements.

For example, some builders merchants require their drivers to hold a ‘remote’ certificate.

At the end of training, as a successful operator you are issued with a ITSSAR Certificate and photocard which is recognised across the UK.

Or if you wish to use your Lorry Loader Crane training towards your Driver CPC Periodic Training Hours, you also have the option of a RTITB NORS Certificate.

When you pass a PCV test on a manual gearbox coach, you have passed the top PCV licence and you can drive any Passenger Carrying Vehicle regardless of the number of seats or the type of body, i.e. single or double-decker, service bus or saloon coach body, automatic gear box or manual, and minibuses.

It's good to have the top PCV licence for a wider range of job opportunities. However, in our experience, most people need more training than if they choose to acquire an automatic gear box PCV and this means a greater cost.

If you need to carry more baggage or equipment like canoes, kayaks, camp gear and tents then towing a trailer may be the answer for you.

Indeed, drivers and tour guides working at holiday companies, or youth workers and scout/guide leaders often re-approach us having passed their minibus test when they need to upgrade their D1 entitlement for trailer entitlment.

If your minibus is full of passengers and there is no space left for luggage and equipment, the obvious solution is to house it all in a trailer and tow it behind the vehicle as it continues along to your site or holiday destination
 

Holding a Certificate of Professional Competence is an essential qualification required by law for anyone wishing to operate vehicles. Obtaining this qualification demonstrates the professional competence of the owner operator or transport manager responsible for the control of goods vehicles or of anyone applying for an Operator's Licence

To gain the CPC qualification candidates must sit formal examinations which are held four times a year (March, June, September and December) and successfully complete a case study as part of the examination process. Examinations are administered by OCR on behalf of the Department for Transport.
