Category C training
Practical training for rigid goods vehicles over 3.5 tonnes. This page explains the route. It does not confirm that you qualify, and it does not state a price or a course length.
Who Category C is for
People who want to drive a rigid goods vehicle over 3.5 tonnes. The usual starting point is a category B car licence. Medical and theory steps sit alongside the practical training.
If you already hold Category C and need a trailer, seeCategory C+E training.
What you can drive
Category C is the rigid lorry entitlement. It covers goods vehicles over 3.5 tonnes maximum authorised mass that are not articulated.
- Rigid goods vehicles such as box wagons, tippers, flatbeds and similar lorries
- Not an articulated lorry or a drawbar outfit. That is Category C+E
The vehicle used for training belongs to the provider. This demonstration does not name a make or model.
