Category C1 Licence (7.5 tonne)
This licence is for anyone wanting to drive rigid vehicles over 3.5 tonnes and up to 7.5 tonnes. It’s a very popular licence with people in the equine industry, people wishing to join the ambulance service and for builders with smaller vehicles.
JLD offer packages which include varied elements of the ‘Route to the Road’ guide to ensure gaining your licence is as simple and hassle free as possible!
Training courses can start from either our branch in Banbury or our site in Abingdon (Steventon Storage Facility) but all training will be spent around the Abingdon area as there are currently no C1 or C1+E test routes available around the Banbury area.
All of our training takes place on the actual DVSA test routes so as to give the candidate the best possible chance of passing first time. We also have our own DVSA accredited test area so you can relax in the knowledge you will be in familiar surroundings on test day and reverse on the area you have been practicing on throughout your course.
Our instructors have passed an assessment which allows them to carry out the 3a off road manoeuvres test, the 3b on road test will be carried out by a DVSA examiner.
All of our instructors are trained to an extremely high standard, this means they have taken an advanced driving test and an instructional ability test with RTITB (NRI) or with our senior instructor to not only prove they can drive to an exceptionally high standard but also instruct in a manner that is clear and informative. Regular monitoring is carried out along with standardisation meetings to make sure we continue to deliver training of the highest standard.
If you would like to enquire about one of our packages, please call the office or fill out the enquiry form and one of the team will get in touch with you to answer any questions you may have.
