Car & Trailer Training
We have a variety of car & trailer training courses available for you to choose from!
Our B+E courses will provide students with the knowledge, skills and ability that they need to confidently and securely drive a car & trailer on the road. Our Familiarisation training takes 3.5 hours to complete and is ideal for those candidates who have previous experience in driving a B+E vehicle on the road and want to brush up on their towing skills.
We also have 7-hour and 10.5-hour courses available for those students who have less experience and confidence in driving a B+E category vehicle.
All of our B+E training courses are taught by highly experienced and professional instructors, all of whom are dedicated to ensuring you are able to safely and securely operate a B+E category vehicle.
Our B+E Familiarisation course takes 3.5 hours to complete and will cover practical driving, the B+E reversing exercise and coupling & re-coupling manoeuvre. Additionally, we have 7-hour and 10.5-hour courses available.
The cost of your B+E training will vary depending on your current experience and confidence level. The cost of our B+E training ranges from £192.50 to £575.00.
If you are driving a vehicle that is over 3,500kgs as part of a job or for clear financial gain, you will need to complete 35-hours of CPC training every 5 years. However, if you are driving as part of a hobby, you will not need to complete CPC training.
We have both online and classroom CPC courses available with 7-hour and 35-hour options on offer. Additionally, we have an extensive range of training modules to choose from!

All employers have a duty of care to ensure their staff are safely towing on the road and trained on all vehicles that they use for insurance purposes.
If there was to be an accident, training records could be requested from insurance companies, police or traffic enforcement officers. 2 Start Training will be issuing certificates of attendance for those who complete their B+E training for their personnel files.
