What Our C1+E Training Covers
Our C1+E training programme covers all elements of the DVSA practical test and the practical skills you will need in everyday use:
- Trailer coupling and uncoupling — safe procedures and DVSA requirements.
- Reversing with a trailer — the most technically demanding element of the test, with structured practice from your first session.
- Road driving with the outfit — mirror use, lane positioning, speed management, and planning ahead.
- Roundabouts, junctions, and dual carriageways with a trailer attached.
- Independent driving — following signs and sat-nav without examiner direction.
- Vehicle safety checks — "show me, tell me" questions relevant to C1+E vehicles.
