7.5 Tonne Driver Training

This option will provide you with a full C1 driving licence and a DQC.

Price is inclusive of tuition, VAT and test fees.

This is a popular course for drivers wishing to gain C1 and drive the vehicle professionally.  This option comprises everything, including the medical and theory tests, theory tuition, 3 days driver training and also the Driver CPC qualification. Typically this option will take 8 weeks from start to finish.

EP Training is going to assist you throughout. The costs quoted above include the following:

• A medical assessment (this takes no more than 15-20 mins and is undertaken at EP Training’s training centre in Great Bookham, Surrey).
• Whilst the medical is being completed we shall also complete the provisional licence application and forward to DVLA.
• Online, official, unlimited theory tuition.
• 3 theory tests booked at your nearest theory test centre
• 3 days driving HGV training course delivered in and around the Guildford area, with a driving test booked for the end of your course.
• 1 day Initial with test (Module 4) Driver CPC training.

The 'Pass Protection' is optional and buys you two free practical driving retests should you need them. It's a good idea to take the pass protection as it gives you another 2 driving tests, price otherwise is £450 per retest. The pass protection must be purchased before the start of the driving.

Not everyone needing C1 will also be requiring Driver CPC. As a result EP Training offers the option which allows you to gain C1 without CPC (Modules 2 and 4).

For example, ambulance drivers/paramedics do NOT require Driver CPC as their main occupation is NOT driving commercially.  Also, if you only want to obtain C1 to use for private use then CPC is NOT required. We advise you search online for “Exemptions to Driver CPC” to find more information on this. It is anticipated that 6-8 weeks will be taken up completing the following:

All prices including test fees and VAT:

• A short medical with EP Training’s own Doctor in Great Bookham, Surrey. This is expected to only take 20 minutes.
• All provisional licence application forms completed, checked and forwarded to DVLA.
• Online, official, unlimited theory tuition.
• 2 theory tests arranged at your local DVSA theory test centre
• 3 days driving MGV training course delivered in and around the Guildford area, with a driving test booked for the end of your course.

If you have already completed your medical, obtained your provisional 7.5 tonnes entitlement and passed the Multi Choice and Hazard Perception (and Not require CPC) then all you need to do is the driving test.

EP Training only uses 7.5 tonne training vehicles that are modern, well maintained and designed specifically to assist you in passing your driving test.

They only train and test in Guildford, Surrey, so all your tuition will be conducted in that area. This means you will be highly acquainted with the test routes before you take your driving test.

The driving test is approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes in duration so suitable preparation is the key to success.

EP boasts a successful pass rate of 81%, much higher than the national average. The 3 days tuition will be spent preparing you for your driving test which will be conducted at the end of your course. EP Training will book your driving test and ensure you arrive in a timely manner ready to get that pass.
