You are now able to go straight from a car to a C+E vehicle and fast track to your class 1 licence.
Our Car to C+E courses are designed to give you the skills, knowledge, and confidence you need to go from a Category B licence to a C+E artic licence.
This course has been created to ensure that candidates can safely and securely transition from driving a car to an articulated lorry. You can book this course with confidence in knowing that the training we provide surpasses the highest quality available, and all of our LGV Instructors are experienced industry professionals who are dedicated to giving you the skills and knowledge needed to obtain your licence.
Alternatively, some students would rather train to Category C level before proceeding to progress to the Articulated Cat C+E lorries, if you would rather look at our Category C rigid truck options, please see our LGV 2 training courses.
