Category D to C

Hi, like you I’ve had my full manual cat D+E for the last 15 years. I was driving coaches with a trailer for the last 10 and the passengers ground me down. The driving itself was enjoyable, I just couldn’t deal with the people or children anymore.

Last year October time I decided I wanted to do my class 2 so went through the motion.

Even though I was a cpc holder, due to the fact I got my cat b (car) in 1999 I didn’t have aquired rights so had to do module 2 and module 4. The tests were in fact real simple and I used an app off of Google play to help me through it.

I used a company local to me and I did 2 days @4hrs each day with my test on the 3rd day. The reason I did 8 hrs training was to familiarise myself with the test routes.

Overall I found the whole experience fairly easy as I had experience with big vehicles. I’m now proudly driving a volvo FMX 540 on my own with no one bleating in my ear and it feels heavenly.

Go for your cat C, you won’t regret it
