You would normally have the entitlement to drive vehicles in this category if you passed your car driving test before January 1997. Car tests taken after that date would not have the additional licence category and would therefore require further tests.
A lot of trainee paramedics will also require this licence.
The majority of the driver training is practical and is delivered in-cab on the public highways around Wolverhampton.
Instruction is structured to give the candidate the widest range of experience and exposure to:
• Varying traffic conditions
• Road types
• Urban/rural environments
• Vehicle handling and manoeuvring
• Gear selection etc.
Duration: 5 days
The right attitude and approach to your driving, together with a sound knowledge of professional driving techniques and the ability to apply those techniques, is essential.
