C1+E Licence Training with Craig Baker Driver Training

Looking to upgrade your licence so you can drive a vehicle between 3.5 and 7.5 tonnes with a trailer over 750kg? At Craig Baker Driver Training, we offer fully accredited C1+E licence training, helping you take the next step in your driving career or personal goals.

Whether you're delivering goods, towing equipment, or transporting horses, a C1+E licence gives you the flexibility and freedom to operate larger combinations of vehicles legally and safely.

 

What Is a C1+E Licence?

A C1+E licence is a driving licence category in the UK that allows you to drive medium-sized vehicles with a trailer. It builds on the standard C1 licence, which permits you to drive vehicles weighing between 3,500kg and 7,500kg (typically used for delivery vans, horseboxes, or ambulances). The +E component allows you to tow a trailer over 750kg, giving you far more flexibility and capacity for transport.

 

With a C1+E licence, you can drive:

  • A rigid vehicle between 3.5 and 7.5 tonnes

  • With a trailer that weighs more than 750kg

  • As long as the combined Maximum Authorised Mass (MAM) doesn’t exceed 12,000kg (12 tonnes)

This category is essential for drivers who need to haul equipment, carry heavier loads, or operate in logistics roles that require towing capability.

 

Common uses include:

  • Horsebox drivers transporting horses and tack

  • Paramedics or medical professionals using patient transport vehicles with trailers

  • Mobile workshop owners or tradespeople towing tools and materials

  • Furniture movers and delivery drivers with larger payloads

  • Motorhome or campervan drivers needing to tow vehicles or trailers

It's a popular upgrade for both personal and professional reasons, especially for people who already hold a C1 licence and want to expand their driving options.

At Craig Baker Driver Training, we specialise in helping you obtain this licence quickly, efficiently, and with full support — from theory to practical.
