Category D1+E Minibus with Trailer Licence
Ready to expand your driving qualifications and take on more responsibility? At Craig Baker Driver Training, we offer expert Category D1+E minibus and trailer licence training for those looking to tow a trailer behind a minibus. Whether you're operating in the education, care, or community transport sectors, our tailored D1+E training will ensure you're fully qualified and confident on the road.
A D1+E licence allows you to drive a minibus with a trailer over 750kg. It’s essential for anyone transporting equipment, luggage, or goods that require towing behind a minibus—commonly needed by schools, charities, and community transport providers.
D1+E training typically takes 3 to 4 days, depending on your experience with towing and driving larger vehicles. At Craig Baker Driver Training, we tailor our courses to suit your skill level and availability.
The DVSA D1+E test includes a reversing exercise, uncoupling and recoupling the trailer, and a practical on-road driving assessment. We provide full preparation and mock tests to help you pass first time.
Absolutely. A D1+E licence is ideal for professional drivers in schools, care organisations, and transport companies where towing is required. It's a valuable qualification that can open new career opportunities in passenger transport.
Prices for D1+E training vary depending on your experience and the length of the course. At Craig Baker Driver Training, we offer competitive rates and flexible packages—contact us for a personalised quote.
No, a standard D1 licence only allows you to drive a minibus without a trailer over 750kg. To tow a heavier trailer, you need the additional D1+E entitlement.
If you're applying for the initial D1 entitlement, you will need to complete a medical (D4 form). However, if you already hold a D1 licence and are simply upgrading to D1+E, a new medical is not usually required unless your current medical is out of date.
If you're using the D1+E licence for commercial or hire-and-reward purposes, you will likely need a Driver CPC (Certificate of Professional Competence). We can advise you on whether this applies to your situation.
Yes, our D1+E training is beginner-friendly. We’ll teach you all the necessary skills, including coupling and uncoupling, reversing, and road safety techniques—even if you’ve never towed before.
