This option 2 will give you all you need to get you on the road and start earning as a professional cat C lorry driver. Despite the option to go straight to class 1 (C+E) without needing to pass the Cat C driving test, this is still a popular choice. When you consider that over ⅔ of all goods vehicles are cat C, you will see there are many employment prospects for class 2 drivers. 

If you are a company that is investing in training an employee and you only need him or her to have a category C licence then there is little point in going straight to C+E.

Take EP’s Pass Protection insurance, pass on the first attempt and get £200 back!

It’s a fact passing your HGV driving test is no mean feat especially when you consider the national average for first time HGV driving test passes is 55%.

The driving test is approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes long and one serious or dangerous fault means a retest.

In light of this EP offers a Pass Protection service which provides another 2 driving retests, if needed. This also includes 1-2 hour pre-test driving tuition)

EP Training also believes ‘fair is fair’ so if pass protection is taken out but the driving test is passed first time (therefore pass protection is not used) EP will give you back £200.
