Hi.
Old thread or not,just thinking outside the box Doh.
If you took a "C/van" towing/instruction course,would this upgrade your licence to the level you want,it must be cheaper,is it a way around the other courses.?
I should know this,but,knowing it would not have earnt me any more MONEY LOL

Even if it did it would only upgrade your car licence to B+E.....car up to 3500kg with any trailer up to vehicle train weight..
It wouldnt give you a C1+E....tow vehicle over 3500kg plus trailer, total combined weight 12000kg

Hi Mel.
No,i mean the one you do to enable you to tow a caravan,you then take a test,i believe people passing the test today,cannot tow a trailer/c/van,until they upgrade their licence. I used to see a chap with a box trailer on his car,at the local HGV test station,giving instruction,the pupil then went out with a tester .
But then again,this may only qualify you up to 3.5t. Gross max weight..... Back to the drawing board LOL

No, doing that only gets post 97 licence holders a B+1E.? to tow a gross of more than3.5t. instead of the B that comes with a modern car licence.?
