Aim of the Course 
The Category C + E Professional Driver Programme provides Service leavers with the unique opportunity to gain a commercial LGV Licence. Category C + E licence enables holders to driver trucks and lorries weighing over 3500Kg with a trailer in excess of 750Kg. Experience can be gained after qualifying through attending a civilian work attachment (CWA) in the transport and logistics sector in association with Manpower Group.

Course Content 
During this 5 day course you will receive hands on training and driver testing to enable you to gain the full licence required to drive commercial C+E lorries.

Upon successful completion of your course you will then be offered the opportunity to be linked to Manpower Group where we have agreed a programme of work attachments and employment opportunities UK wide.

All Manpower Group opportunities are available to view on RightJob.

Please note: This course does not include DCPC which is a requirement for all commercial drivers. If you have completed Category C within the military prior to Sep 2009 or obtained your Car licence prior to 1997  then you may book onto the periodic training with CTP. For those who gained the Category C after Sep 2009 within the Military you will be required to complete Parts 2 and 4 of the initial DCPC.
