What licence do I need to drive an ambulance in Stoke on Trent?
Are you training to become a paramedic and looking to learn how to drive an ambulance? A key point many overlook is that due to an ambulance's gross weight being over 3.5 tons, a normal driver’s license is not enough. You will need an HGV 7.5-ton license, and that means you must obtain an HGV C1 license. We will walk you through the steps below.
D4 Drivers Medical
It is necessary to attend a medical prior to being allowed to drive an ambulance in order to ensure that you are physically fit and proper to drive a HGV C1 vehicle and that you are able to do so according to the DVLA's regulations This medical must include a vision test and a general physical exam. The results of these tests are then sent off to the DVLA for approval. If approved, the driver is then allowed to drive an ambulance.
Theory Test & Hazard Perception
As a next step, you will need to begin revising for the C1 HGV theory test as well as the hazard perception test. Craig Baker Driver Training will provide you with all the necessary study materials. In the event that you require theory test preparation lessons, we can also provide these services.
Practical C1 Ambulance Driving Test
Next, you will start to prepare for your 3A practical reversing test, our professional instructor will teach you how to perform the reversing exercise after that you will start on the on-road driving and preparing for your 3B practical on-road test. Upon completion of the 3B practical on-road test, you will receive your C1 driving licence. Once you have your license, you can begin driving on your own.
