C+E - Any LGV vehicle (HGV1)
To learn to drive an articulated vehicle or drawbar combination you must have passed the Category C LGV test and hold the full licence.

You DO NOT need to take a theory test

Minimum Age: 21

• You must have passed your Category C driving test (if you obtained a provisional LGV licence before 1st Jan 1997 then you will have a provisional licence to drive an artic (C+E) BUT you will still need to take your Category C test first

• You must check your licence to see if the provisional for C+E is on it
  

• You must hold the full Category C licence - the pass certificate is NOT acceptable. On passing your category C driving test you must send your provisional licence back to the DVLA for them to upgrade it to a full category C and at the same time they will put the provisional on it for the artic (C+E) automatically (the examiner for your Cat C normally retains your licence and sends it off to DVLA on your behalf).
  
  DVLA normally take about 10 working days to process your licence
• There is no time limit between passing your Category C test and taking a C+E test (other than the time it takes to process your new Cat C licence see 2 above).

• You do not need to take a second LGV theory test if you had to take one in order to pass your category C driving test. If you passed your Category C or old HGV 2/3 before the theory test was introduced then you are lucky you still don't have to pass a theory test before doing your C+E training.
