C1 Training

Description

Those that are looking for a career within the ambulance or logistics sectors often need to complete additional tests to gain the licence from the DVLA to be able to drive. Those that passed their test after 1997 are required to take these tests as currently they can only drive B class vehicle which are up to 3.5tonne. The C1 Driving Licence allows drivers to legally drive a vehicle weighing between 3.5 and 7.5 tonnes.

If you are seeking to drive an ambulance or a heavy logistic vehicle, book your C1 Driving Licence course with us at Basegreen Academy. Being closely related to a medical transport company, UKEMS, we are able to provide you with this nationally recognised, regulated qualification, with the help of trainers who have had years of experience in the ambulance sector. We’ll meet you where you are: Begin or finish your course with us at any stage of your journey.

The C1 driving course is conducted over a two-day period of training. With each day also having a practical test. On day one, we conduct practice for the 3A reverse test manoeuvre, with this test in the afternoon. But also conduct training across Yorkshire hitting all types of roads. On day two, we focus more on roads around the test centre area for your test, with the 3B on road test taking place mid-morning or afternoon. All training is conducted in specialist ambulance driver training vehicles, these are equipped to deliver C1 training but are also used for emergency response (blue light) driver training. These vehicles have been checked and are suitable for conducting the training as required. You will have to always show L plates on the vehicle during your training and testing, these are provided by Basegreen. The medical and theory part of the programme will be organised at a centre near you.
