You don't learn that on the test. That is part of the CPC which you don't need to do for a motorhomeHe will have the pleasure of learning drivers hours etc that he will never use driving a motorhome and have to pay for the pleasure.

I believe You can take it in a motorhome if it matches the requirements. However... Who would drive the motorhome to the test centre for you?I find it ridiculous that you cannot take a test with a motorhome, to drive a motorhome. After all if it is deemed to be an HGV, then the test should be available to be taken in one. Why drive a truck which has no similarity to it whatsoever. Typical British Bureaucracy, make a rule then make it impossible to carry it out.
Do they have the right to specify the make size and body type? surely it is in the class then fair game.

Does he need a motorhome over 3500kg?My son in law would like to pass his C1 so he can drive a moho.
He's currently based at Yeovilton in Somerset.
Anyone know where he could learn and how much it would cost?
Thanks.

It's not "Typical British Bureaucracy" at all, its typical fuckwitt EU law.I find it ridiculous that you cannot take a test with a motorhome, to drive a motorhome.

When we get out of the bloody EU gravy train we could go back to driving up to 7.5 tonne on a car licence like it used to be but I doubt it.Seems like this C1 licence business is going to keep cropping up in the motor homing world, as is the trailer regs. Vehicles under 3.5T will be popular with those that don't want ( or can't ) to take a test for a larger van or to tow a caravan, but where does that leave owners with a bigger van with a shrinking number of people to sell to.not every van can be downplated.

Just not to confuse anyone. What you're talking about is the Driver Qualification Card and although commonly called a CPC it is in fact a Driver CPC, not to be confused with the correct CPC which is Certificate of Professional Competence. This qualification is the basic requirement for a Transport Manager and is either National or International.Do you do any cpc stuff for a motorhome ?
On the Driver CPC, I've never done any paperwork. It's basically classroom work and in essence you could take the same module 5 times to gain your 35 hours of initial training. Once you have the DCPC, you can do 1 day a year (more if you want) for the next 5 years within the qualifying period to keep it rolling on.Paper work not my best subject, haha. Must pay more attention at the cpc days, well a little more.

Absolutely correct. I hold CPC National and International and also DCPC which entities me to drive. The CPC doesn't entitle the holder to drive any vehicle.Paper work, I should of put class work. I just do 1 day a year in case anything happens or someone else might pay for it. I can live in hope. As far as I am a aware even holding a cpc does not exempt you from the dcpc either if you're driving a hgv.
Sounds about right.Son just did it and cost £1000.

No way is (or ever has been) a newly qualified 18 year old car driver competent to drive a 7.5t vehicle.
The C1 category is there because the size and weight of the vehicle needs training to control safely.
