Pass rates are far higher when you prepare and understand the material for the C1 and C1+E licence categories. Many resources, such as our comprehensive, intensive driving lessons, are available to assist in this preparation. With some preparation and practice, you can be confident that you will pass the test and obtain the necessary entitlement.

When you take the 7.5 Tonne with Trailer training course, you will learn all the important qualifications and requirements needed to drive a vehicle in this category. You'll be instructed in the C1+E licence category, which is applicable to those driving a vehicle over 3.5 tonnes with a trailer above 750kg. You will receive intensive lessons, enabling thorough and intuitive knowledge to be gained of subjects such as safety, concentrating on how to perform the essential safety checks involved, as well as construction and use legislation.

What you must know and understand before taking your practical test
Before taking your practical 7.5 Tonne with Trailer test, it's important to understand the regulations and what's expected of you. You must have the correct C1+E category licence; for this, you will generally need to complete an intensive driving course and intensive lessons. Be aware of the restrictions with this licence category, for example, that the maximum authorised mass (MAM) for the trailer must not exceed 12,000 Kg, and the gross train (MGW) weight must not exceed 32,000 Kg. Be sure to brush up on all the essential knowledge and skills and practice manoeuvres, routes and safety checks to feel confident before your test.
Practical Training
Practical training is essential to learning how to drive a 7.5-tonne vehicle with a trailer. During the practical assessments, it is important to demonstrate a competent level of driving skills and adherence to road safety rules and regulations before you can be certified. Practical training focuses on developing driver skills in space management, vehicle manoeuvres, anti-social driving scenarios, fuel economy, speed management, and trailer-tracking. By gaining a thorough understanding of vehicle safety features, such as brake systems, loading/unloading routines, hazard perception and defensive driving techniques, you can be fully prepared for your driving test.
Once you have completed your theory component of the 7.5 tonnes with trailer training, the most essential part is the practical training. This is where you'll learn how to safely and competently operate the vehicle, with various practical tests and assessments. In the practical section of the training, you'll encounter many new challenges, such as reversing the trailer in different situations, coupling and uncoupling, and carrying out basic checks. You'll also learn how to follow highway codes and perfect reversing manoeuvres. When you are on the road with your instructor, you can expect guidance on driving safely and effectively, with expert advice on handling the vehicle in different scenarios. Your instructor will be with you every step of the way, providing encouragement and instruction to build confidence and competence in your ability to safely and confidently drive the 7.5-tonne trailer.

The test will likely take around 90 minutes, and the examiner will ask each driver to demonstrate handling and manoeuvring skills, reversing, loading and unloading, and checking your understanding of road safety along the way.

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) DVLA's website is responsible for registering and licensing all vehicles in the UK. They provide essential services to the public, so it is vital to ensure you have a valid driving licence in order to drive legally. The DVLA offer an online D9 application form for first-time applicants, which can be used to register for a full driving licence. It is essential to understand that this form requires a number of personal details, so it is only advisable to complete the form after reading and understanding all parts of it first. Once the form is completed and submitted, you can expect your driving licence to be issued within four to six weeks. It is also important to remember that you can only use the online D9 form and not a paper form. Review the online D9 application form carefully, and provide the DVLA with accurate and up-to-date information so your new driving licence can be issued as quickly as possible.
