Category C

The Category C license is what you need in order to become a professional driver of Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs). This licence allows you to drive vehicles over 3.5 tonnes.

Category C+E

The Category C+E license is the most comprehensive HGV license you can hold. With this license, drivers can drive a drawbar or articulated vehicle. The bearer can go up to or over 750kg in weight

The Category D1 on your driving licence permits you to legally drive vehicles of between 9 & 16 seats. If you passed your test before 1st January 1997, you'll automatically have category D1 on your licence, this comes with a ‘101 restriction’ which means you cannot drive for hire or reward. However, if you passed your test after this date, you will need to apply to have D1 added to your licence.

CPC

There are two types of Driver Certificate of Professional Competence ( CPC ). Initial CPC is a Mod 2 and 4 exam and Periodic CPC refers to the card awarded when you've done 35 hours of periodic training. The card is sometimes called a 'driver qualification card' or ' DQC '. You must carry this card while driving a lorry, bus or coach professionally.

Category C1

The C1 licence is an additional part to your manual Cat B licence. It allows you to drive ambulances and other vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes with a trailer up to 750kg.

Category C1E

The C1E licence is an additional part to your manual Cat B licence. It allows you to drive ambulances and other vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes with a trailer over 750kg.

Category B+E

If you passed your test after 1 January 1997, your driving licence will be limited to a Category B licence. If you have a Category B licence, you can legally drive a vehicle with a maximum mass of 3500kg plus a trailer weighing 750kg. If you want to tow anything heavier such as a large trailer or caravan , you'll need a Category B+E licence.

Category D

A Category D licence allows you to drive a bus or coach with more than 8 passenger seats. This licence permits you to drive a long distance coach, a local bus or a minibus.
