So what other advice would we give you?

Our first bit of advice is every time you speak to a company about training ensure it is them providing the training because there are some agencies out there acting as middlemen. Remember if you book through an agency, you will have to pay agency fees on top. They will not guarantee the quality of the training provided so your C1 training course could fall short.

Sooner or later you will realize that passing the C1 driving test really is based on the quality of the training.

Passing C1 driving test practical test tips

Whether passing the category C1 driving test is for driving an ambulance, a horsebox, or for work, it’s important to know what is actually expected on the test itself.

A driving test report looks like this. You are only allowed up to 15 driving faults. One “Serious” or “Dangerous” is a fail, but our aim is to coach you to not make any of these faults. 

So make sure your driver training includes the following;

• Plenty of practice time, whether with a company or in your own vehicle
• Make sure that your driving is smooth. You are aiming for no unnecessary gear changes, heavy braking, or acceleration.
• Ensure you always corner the vehicle safely. Bear in mind you will be carrying loads with this test pass.
• Use your mirrors frequently and at the right times. This is vital when entering new roads, turning, or changing speed.
• Know the safety features of the vehicle you are driving and the all important pre-checks.
