Yup, do C test, gives you more entitlement. Although a caution that may put some off, the training vehicle will be a rigid HGV, with a 'funny' gearbox, if that puts your friend off, best to go for c1 test.take c test, some say same price and can drive bigger mh or rv

c test requires minimum 8 forward gears .@ianandkath It'll be 4 over 4, or straight 6. In my mind 4 over 4 is easier, but apparently my opinion is in the minority, with most liking straight 6. Do a youtube search to see them in action

Aaaaaah, memories . Six speed with twin splitter and a two speed axle. Possible thirty six gears to f**k up.@ianandkath It'll be 4 over 4, or straight 6.

No argument from me!despite most modern trucks now being auto/semi auto I find it disturbing that you can do your test in an auto truck, there are enough older trucks about to necessitate proving you can control a large vehicle with a complicated gearbox.
Things like being in the correct gear for your speed on the road and coming down the box as you slow for a junction may have gone out of the window in cars( wrongly IMO) but are still an important skill in 44tonne of HGV
true@jabberwocky, but dont forget a lot of modern trucks are not autobox

[edit]
Mind you I still think car drivers should be taught a double de-clutch!
Sadly the former, knackered gearboxIf you need to double de clutch either the box requires attention or you have a fantastic old vehicle and I could well be jealous
