Typically the driver will be looking to add the Category C1 to their Licence so they can drive an Ambulance or Horse Box or a 7.5t Commercial vehicle.
Highly recommended - Booking was a breeze with almost no waiting time between booking and training, and the price was the best I found. Took my C1 test with instruction from Nick who was an excellent trainer - informative, relaxed and fun to be around, filled me with confidence and got me to test standard in minimum time.Sarah Paton
