Vehicle Hire
The C1 Test Preparation Course is carried out using our Iveco Daily 52C13 Van which comply's with all the current regulations for the DSA C1 Test. Our C1 training vehicles have the advantage of being small and manoeuverable, with simple controls and gears, hydraulic ABS brakes, simple 6 speed gearbox and light power assisted steering.whilst meeting all DSA requirements with a MAM of 5200kg.
Customers come to us from many miles away because we can offer C1 training on an intensive one on one basis, with a high pass rate, that many of our competitors choose to carry out over a 3,4 or even 5 day period. Whilst it may make sense for a limited few individuals to learn on a full sized large truck they will find it more expensive and harder to pass the driving test than they would in our ambulance sized vehicle. By training with us we aim to get you through your C1 test quickly, easily and save you money. From an Employers view we aim to keep your operative off of work for as little time as possible and successfully train local council operatives in this fashion, and that's why people travel to us from a far, there are a number of local places to stay, just ask for details and we can tailor make a package for you.
