C1 Ambulance Driver Training Blackpool
Are you a trainee paramedic in Blackpool and need to gain a C1 licence as part of your training?
What licence do I need to drive an ambulance in Blackpool?
Are you a trainee paramedic seeking ambulance driver training? Many people are unaware that because an ambulance typically exceeds a gross weight of 3.5 tons, it cannot be driven with a standard driver's license. To operate an ambulance, you'll need a HGV 7.5-ton license. If this is the case for you, you’ll also need to acquire an HGV C1 license, and we will outline the necessary steps below.
D4 Drivers Medical in Blackpool
The DVLA's regulations require you to undergo a medical examination before you are permitted to drive an ambulance in order to ensure that you are physically fit and proper. This medical must include an eye examination and a general physical examination. After these tests are completed, the results are sent to the DVLA for approval. A driver can drive an ambulance once he or she has been approved.
Theory Test & Hazard Perception
The next step is to prepare for the C1 Licence HGV theory test and the hazard perception test. All study materials will be provided by Craig Baker Driver Training. We can also provide theory test preparation lessons if you need them. When you feel confident, you can book your test at one of the official DVSA test centres. We can help you with this too. After you pass the tests, you'll be ready to start your driving lessons.
Practical C1 Ambulance Driving Test in Blackpool
After that, you will prepare with our professional instructor for your 3A practical reversing test. We will show you how to reverse and prepare you for your 3B practical on-road test after that. Passing the 3B practical road test leads to the awarding of a C1 driving licence. Now that you have your license, you can begin driving on your own.
Once you have passed the 3B test you will be fully qualified to drive ambulances up to 7.5ton
