LGV CATEGORY C 1 LICENCE WOLVERHAMPTON WEST MIDLANDS



The training is structured into two parts which consist of the theory and practical elements of your licence. The largest proportion of driver training is of a practical nature, which is delivered in-cab on the public highways.


This invaluable instruction is structured to give you the widest range of experience and exposure to varying traffic conditions, road types, urban/rural environments, vehicle handling and manoeuvring, gear selection and potential hazards you will encounter as an LGV driver.


C1 – also referred to as a 7.5 tonne or class 3 this category enables the licence holder to drive a large goods vehicle with a gross vehicle weight of up to 7,500kg with a trailer up to a maximum authorised mass of up to 750kg.


A driver can obtain this licence from the age of 18. Find out more on obtaining your Category C1 licence. Some examples of C1 vehicles include ambulances, horseboxes, refrigerated grocery delivery trucks and home removal trucks.

Once You Are In Receipt Of Your Provisional Licence



Upon receipt of your provisional licence, you can contact Active Training Group to arrange a driving assessment in the category of vehicle which you wish to learn to drive. For Category C candidates, this includes the option to choose between vehicles with manual or automatic transmission.


Following the assessment of your driving, our instructor will recommend the duration of the course of instruction required based on your standard of driving and previous experience to ensure that you complete the correct amount of training to enable you to pass your driving test..



DSA Theory Test And What It Entails



There are two parts to the theory test: multiple-choice and hazard perception. The tests can normally be booked for the same day (subject to availability) or taken on different days if you wish. Both parts must be passed before a practical test can be taken.


To pass the multiple-choice test, you must correctly answer 85 of 100 questions in the allowed time of 2 hours. The answers to all the questions are contained in the book, The Official Theory Test for Drivers of Large Vehicles.


The topics covered by the theory test are:

Vehicle, weights and dimensions

Carrying passengers

Accident handling

Leaving the vehicle

Restricted view

Environmental issues

Drivers' hours and rest periods

Attitude and alertness

Braking systems, speed limits and overtaking

Safety and hazard awareness

Vehicle condition

Vehicle loading

Windy weather and heavy rain

Traffic signs


The hazard perception test consists of 19 film clips (18 clips containing 1 scoreable hazard and 1 clip containing 2 scoreable hazards) of real road scenes containing potential hazards.


When watching the clips, you respond by clicking the mouse button as soon as you become aware of a hazard. The pass mark is 67 out of a possible 100 and the allowed time is 45 minutes.



Useful Tips From Active Training Group






With a Category C1 Licence you will be eligible to drive an LGV of between 3,500kg and 7,500kg. You can also add a trailer of no more than 750kg.


This vehicle is commonly known as a 7.5 ton, Class 3 or C1, and is typically used for making local supermarket deliveries, or removals.


The following books will help you to prepare for your theory test:

The Highway Code

Practical Training Course and Test



Active Training Group will schedule your practical driver training course at a mutually agreeable time and will book a driving test, which will normally take place on the last day of the course.


Practical driver training for all on-road courses with Active Training Group is conducted on one instructor to one trainee basis.


On successful completion of the practical driving test, you can exchange your provisional entitlement licence for a full entitlement licence through DVLA. Provisional Category C+E entitlement will be shown on the new licence automatically. You can then proceed to Category C+E training if desired.
