Car – Class C+E

Car – C+E Driver Training Course

Course Information

As of November 15, 2021, the DVSA updated the regulations for obtaining a Class C+E licence. You no longer need to pass the Class C test first—you can now go directly for the Class C+E licence. Additionally, the minimum age requirement has been lowered from 21 to 18 years old.

Under the new rules, you must complete and pass the reversing & uncoupling test before taking your driving test. This test is conducted on-site by our certified 3A assessors, who will issue you a reversing & uncoupling test certificate. You must present this certificate at your driving test appointment—without it, the test cannot proceed.

The certificate is valid for six months. If it expires before you pass your on-road driving test at a DVSA test centre, you will need to retake the reversing & uncoupling test.

Why Choose Our Training?

We handle the entire booking process for you, eliminating the hassle of figuring out what comes next. Your journey starts with a medical appointment at our site, followed by theory test bookings at the nearest available centre. Once you pass, we schedule your assessment along with reversing and uncoupling training and testing.

During your assessment, our instructor will evaluate your skills and recommend either the 20-hour or 24-hour training course based on your needs. While passing is not guaranteed, our expert instructors provide comprehensive training to give you the best chance of success on your driving test—ultimately, the result depends on your performance on the day.
