In order to be permitted to drive an ambulance, you must undergo a medical examination in order to ensure that you are physically fit and proper to drive a HGV C1 vehicle as per the DVLA's regulations. An eye examination and a general physical examination must be included in this medical. The results of these tests are then sent off to the DVLA for approval. Upon approval, the driver can drive an ambulance.
The next step is to prepare for the C1 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.
