To cut a long story short, I have about to get my class one license as soon as possible.

Here is what I know, correct me if I'm wrong...

- Before i do anything i have to take a medical at the docs.

- Do I then apply for my class 2 provisional ?

- I have to take my class 2 test and pass

- Do I then apply for my class 1 provisional ?

- I can then take my class 1 test

One myth that I've heard is you have to have held a class 2 license for at least 12 months before you can apply for a class 1

Will I be able to pass my test in 3 weeks assuming everything goes ok ? Is it possible to take intensive courses ?

Many thanks for help

Dont do it

Not sure about the 12 month thing but yes you can do intensive courses. Theory test first.You have a asessment(sp?) with a driving school they say how much you need then you book up and go for it.
3 4 5 day courses that sort of thing.

I'd forgotten about theory test

Thats 3,4 or 5 day courses not 345 as well

And the class 2 licence is your class 1 provisional

When I took my class1 15 years ago all I done was a 4 day course and had the test at the end of it that was it all we had was a few safety questions on coupling and uncopuling and general road questions and that was that cost me shed loads then [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

15 years ago that make me feel sooooooooo old ahh I remember the latest state of the art Ford Cargo Tractor unit with the ISRI seat that use to make me feel like Zebedee Boing

Good luck if you take it

I have a mate at Lothersdale (Skipton) who could prolly sort you out, if it goes **** up....which I'm sure ut won't! Good luck

Once youve passed your category C ( new name for classes 2+3 ) and had your license returned from the DVLA you can go straight for your C+E (class one).

Courses vary in length dependant upon the individuals skill.

Get your provisional license sorted then contact a training school. They should be able to sort you out with a theory test booking and then get you on a course!

Enjoy.

Thanks for the replies Will go to the post office tommorrow and get the relevant documents I need, and get booked in for a medical.

Bob,

Don't think there's been much progress on the insurance front (he still hasn't been paid out [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]) I'll let you know if there's any progress.
