I’m looking into doing my cat c but have a few questions. I’m currently driving coaches so used to large vehicles, I pick things up really quickly therefore how many hours roughly would you estimate id need for training?
Also because I have this license would I need another medical to add c provisional on my license and when I pass does the cpc for my coach add on or do I have to sit specific cpc tests?
Finally if you can reccomended a good training provider in yorkshire I’d be very interested to speak to them.

Cant imagine you would have a problem passing cat c if you drive coaches so would say no more than two days i.e 8 hours. Thats only to get you used to the new blind spots.
Re good driving schools have a search for any post done by ROG and at the bottom of his status is a link to everything you will ever need to know. Sorry unable to answer your other questions

If you have C provisional on the paper part of your licence then no medical needed
If you have recently done a D4 medical then that will cover it if not got provisional on licence
If not done a recent D4 medical or got C provisional then you need to do one
If not got a pre 1997 car licence or passed a DSA LGV C1 (7.5) test then you will need to do initial LGV DCPC modules 2 and 4
Passing LGV mod 4 will add LGV to your current DQC - the expiry date will stay the same if you have done 35 hours of PCV periodic dcpc
If you passed initial PCV DCPC mods 2 and 4 then passing the LGV mods 2 and 4 MIGHT move the DQC expiry date - let me know if this is the case so I can check on that for you
Number of training hours will need an assessment to determine that

Thanks for the detailed advice. I rang the dvla and they confirmed I do need another medical. As for the CPC I did initially pass the mod 2 and 4 on PCV which expires next October.
Once I’ve got my provisional entitlement I’ll get sherburn phoned up see what they can do for me.
