If you are concerned about the theory tests, and think you might need additional assistance, we are able to provide individual or group tuition classes (£15 per hour + vat per person). These courses are arranged on demand so please call us to arrange a class.

We can arrange practical training for:

There are three different ways of arranging your training.

1. Intensive course. We will arrange an intensive course, usually over consecutive days with the 3a (off road) test sometime during the course and the 3b (driving test) on the final day. The length of the course is based on the average course length for the type of vehicle.
2. Tailored Course. You can arrange an initial few hours of training, so that you can see how your training goes. After the initial training, your instructor will recommend a suitable length of training. We can then take into account existing driving experience as well as aptitude.
3. Training in stages. If you prefer to arrange your training a few hours at a time, we can also accommodate this (minimum 2 hours at a time).

Average course lengths (under the new training and test rules) are:

• 2 days (14 hours) for (C1) 7.5 tonne goods vehicle (£1051.00 incl vat and up to two attempts at the 3a test and one attempt at the 3b test).
• 3 days  (21 hours) for (C) Large goods vehicle (£1627.00 incl vat and up to two attempts at the 3a test and one attempt at the 3b test)
• 3 days (21 hours) for (CE) Large goods vehicle if you already hold the Category C Licence (£1735.00 incl vat and up to two attempts at the 3a test and one attempt at the 3b test).
• 5 days (35 hours) for (CE) Large Goods Vehicle if you dont already hold a Category C licence (£2815.00 incl vat and and up to two attempts at the 3a test and one attempt at the 3b test)

Course lengths are usually 7 hours per day and will be one to one with your instructor.

Hourly rates are as follows:

We can also arrange your CPC Module 4 training and test. Often this can be arranged at the same time as your driver training, but depending on availability of tests, this might need to be arranged at a later date. The cost for CPC Module 4 training (including pre course training materials, practical training and test fee) is £235.00.

Please call us to discuss your requirements.

Driving Jobs

With a national shortage of lorry drivers, there are lots of opportunities for new drivers to gain employment quickly. Whilst some employers prefer to recruit drivers with experience, there are also lots of employers who are happy to take drivers with little or no experience. We have contacts with a number of employers and driving agencies local to Norwich, who are looking for drivers, so we can point you in the right direction in order for you to get work soon after passing your test. A lot of our customers have found work in a matter of days after passing their driving test.

PCV Training

We don’t provide bus/coach training, but we do provide minibus training. The requirements for obtaining a minibus licence are detailed on the government website for further information click here

If you want to drive a minibus, there are some circumstances when you might not need to take a driving test, click here for further information. https://www.gov.uk/driving-a-minibus

Please call if you require help with applying for your provisional licence. We can also help you with free training material for the theory and hazard perception tests.

We can arrange practical training for

• Category D1 Minibus Licence
• Category D1+E Minibus & trailer (only available if you supply a minibus that meets the requirements for the driving test and the trailer)

We can also help you to prepare for the New Driver CPC Module 2 Case Studies and Module 4 Practical Demonstration test.

We like to understand what training each of our customers need, so we recommend that before you undertake a full course of training you complete initial training (3 – 6 hours) so that we can tailor the length of the course to suit you. We can then take into account existing driving experience as well as aptitude.

You can train using our vehicle, your own vehicle, or a vehicle provided by your employer (as long as the vehicle meets the requirements for the driving test).

Minibus Training Courses

An average course is 2 days (12 hours) for which the cost is £1051.00 including vat one attempt at the 3a test and one attempt at the 3b test. Course lengths are usually 6 hours driving per day and will be one to one with your instructor.
