How Do I Learn To Drive A Rigid Truck?
Are you interested in learning to drive a Category C Rigid Truck over 7.5 Ton? Are you considering upskilling or a change of career? Passing your Category C Rigid Truck Driving Test can open a door of opportunity to you and will be a skill you can keep forever.
You must be at least 18 years of age and a holder of a Category B Licence
Get your Public Services card. You will need this to sit your theory test
Apply for and pass the Category C Theory test (theorytest.ie) . You can also do a combined Truck and Bus theory test to gain a learner permit in both categories
For convenience you should also sit the CPC Case Studies exam at the same time as you cannot work professionally as a truck or bus driver without an up to date CPC
Apply for an appointment to get your learner permit at NDLS.IE or alternatively you can turn up any day and wait in line (which often only takes 20/30 Minutes and can be preferable to waiting 6 weeks for an appointment)
Before attending the NDLS centre you need to get a Medical Certificate completed by your doctor (the form is available on the NDLS website). You also need to bring photographic ID, Proof of Address, Evidence of residency entitlement and PPS Verification
After attending the NDLS Centre you should receive the new Learner permit within 10 days and are then entitled to start taking rigid driving lessons
You can contact us on 061 314199 / 086 1929002 at any stage of this process for help or assistance
