C1 7.5T Training in Sittingbourne - FAQs
Q: What are the course costs?
Course pricing and deposit details are fully listed on our pricing page.
Q: Where is the practical test centre for Sittingbourne?
Practical tests are conducted at Medway Ambley Road, just 15 minutes away along the A2 corridor.
Q: What vehicles do you train on in Sittingbourne?
You train on our own fleet of full-size DAF and Scania commercial vehicles with modern automatic gearboxes.
Q: Do I already have a C1 licence?
If you passed your car driving test before January 1st, 1997, you likely already have "Grandfather Rights" for C1. If you passed after this date, you must take the official C1 test.
Q: Is this the exact licence I need to become a paramedic?
Yes. All NHS ambulance services require front-line staff to hold a full Category C1 licence before they can drive an ambulance.
Q: How long does C1 training take?
Training is incredibly fast. Once your provisional licence is back from the DVLA, the practical training is typically completed in just 3 to 5 days.
Q: Do I need the Driver CPC?
If you are driving an ambulance for the NHS, you are generally exempt from the CPC. However, if you are driving commercially (like a courier), you will need to complete the Initial CPC, which we provide.
Q: Is the medical exam required for C1?
Yes, you still need to pass the standard D4 medical exam, which our Concierge team will arrange for you locally.
Q: What vehicles will I learn in?
You will train in modern, easy-to-drive 7.5-tonne panel vans or box trucks, setting you up perfectly for real-world driving.
