How to obtain your C+E licence

To obtain your C+E licence, you can either complete one of our fast-track car to C+E courses, allowing you to go straight from a car to an artic, or you can first complete your CAT C training and then advance to completing your C+E training.

If you first complete your CAT C training, there are no more medicals, or theory tests to be taken, you simply need to pass your practical driving test.

Students will be assessed on the following areas when undertaking their 3a and 3b driving tests:

Safely driving on the roads

Conducting uncoupling and coupling procedure

Completing a reversing manoeuvre

If you’re interested in gaining your CAT C licence first, we have a wide range of LGV 2 training courses. Alternatively, you can complete one of our Fast Track car to C+E courses that allow you to go from a car to a C+E licence.

What will the course cover?

This is a 3.5-hour C+E driving lesson, that will give you a basic understanding of safe driving on the roads. This course is ideal for those who have already gained their LGV 1 licence but want to refresh their driving skills and gain some confidence if they haven’t driven an artic for an extended period of time.

All of our LGV 1 vehicles are articulated – tractor unit and trailer, as we don’t use wagon and drag vehicle combinations. All of our vehicles have automatic gearboxes, air-conditioning, and comfortable seats meaning that you can drive around in comfort and focus on your lesson.

What Certification will you receive?

There is no qualification that comes with completing this training session, as it does not include a DVSA practical test.

In order to gain your C+E licence, you will need to pass your HGV theory and practical tests.

We have a variety of other HGV Class 1 courses that include DVSA tests for you to chose from, which will allow you to gain your HGV licence.

Where can you complete your training?

2 Start Training is one of the best HGV driver training schools on the South Coast, boasting some of the best training facilities available including dedicated on-site reversing facilities and as previously mentioned, automatic training vehicles.

You can complete our LGV 1 driving lesson at any of our training centres, including 4 locations in Portsmouth, Southampton, Reading, and Worthing.

Our Portsmouth depot is a DVSA-approved testing site, meaning if you train for your test at this depot, you may be able to take your HGV driving test there too.
