With pass rates consistently around 95% you will be glad you called!!

We offer a “one-stop” practical solution for anyone who is training to become a paramedic or join the NHS ambulance service to be able to pass the 7.5t Category C1 Test, with one of the highest pass rates in the area! We will guide you through the whole process from the initial DVLA application, right through to passing the practical tests!

The Training

Our practical training sessions will get you through the two practical tests needed to be able to pass your C1 licence.

  • Module 3A is the reversing exercise.
  • Module 3B is the on-road driving test.

It’s worth noting you DO NOT need to pass modules 2 and 4 driver CPC initial qualification if you will be driving an ambulance for the NHS.

The training consists of initially completing the Module 3a reversing exercise which is reversing the vehicle in an S-shaped pattern into a bay. This is tested in-house with training by Matt and a colleague conducting the test.

This then leaves the on-road driving in the Guildford area with the Module 3b on-road test completed on the final day. The standard required for this is high, but Matt’s training program will give you time to improve your driving skills, lose any bad habits that may have crept in, and also give you vital test route familiarisation along with all the hotspots that have the potential to cause issues to the unsuspecting!

If you are a confident manual car driver, a two-day course is suitable. If you are not, longer courses are available. Please get in contact to discuss your requirements.

During your practical road driving, the examiner will see how you:

  • use the vehicle controls
  • move away at an angle, uphill and downhill
  • pull up in various safe locations.
  • use the mirrors
  • give appropriate signals
  • show awareness and anticipation of other road users’ intentions
  • manage your progress and control your vehicle speed
  • deal with hazards
  • select a safe place to stop

There will also be 10 minutes of independent driving, designed to test your ability to drive safely while making independent decisions.

The overall drive is 1 hour in total – that’s a long time to keep every aspect of your driving spot-on and not lapse any concentration!

As Vocational Test Centres are few and far between for the on-road test, we use Guildford Test Centre. We have years of experience at this test centre, and will pass on our in-depth knowledge of the routes to you. Its also one of the nearest to you!

Did you know you, depending which Trust you are going with, you can claim the whole cost of the course back? Yes really!

Pass Protection is also available for just £200, giving you an additional two hours of training and another practical re-test, should you need it.
