Our Minibus Driver Training Courses

 D1 PCV Licence Acquisition Courses

Drivers who wish to acquire a D1 PCV licence are required to pass a medical, apply for a D1 provisional licence, pass the Hazard Perception Test and Theory Test for HGV/PCV drivers and pass the practical driving test.

We can supply the relevant paperwork for the medical and licence application and also the study material for the theory and hazard perception tests.

Our courses preparing for the practical test can be arranged for one or two drivers per trainer and take 3 and 4 days respectively, although an extra ½ day may be required per driver dependant on experience and test availability.

The courses include use of a dedicated training area for the required manoeuvring exercises. We will arrange the test to take place at the end of the course and, where required, we can supply a suitable, modern and fully fuelled minibus.

Our aim is to guide the new driver through the complete process to successful licence acquisition.
