Cat C driver programme

Over several weeks, our prospective Cat C drivers take part in a structured programme of learning and assessment, designed to fully equip them with the knowledge and hands-on experience needed to launch their new career. In order to undertake this category of licence acquisition, you would have to complete a medical and theories, the Academy will help with this. Practical training consists of the below as a minimum and will be adjusted to suit the learners’ requirements:

  • Vehicle Introductions
  • “Show Me, Tell Me” checks
  • Basic and advanced stops & starts
  • Roundabout negotiation
  • Left & right turns on major/minor roads
  • Urban and motorway driving
  • Reverse manoeuvres (including coupling/uncoupling)
  • Preparation for DVSA Mod 3a (off-road) and Mod 3b (on-road) tests
  • Final DVSA Practical Test

Cat C+E driver programme

Once you’ve earned your Cat C licence and proven your capabilities, you’ll be ready to take the next step: upgrading to your Cat C+E (Class 1) licence. By this stage, you’ll already have many of the core skills we value in our LGV drivers — so progressing to Cat C+E is well within reach from the outset.

All that’s required is a one-week intensive training course, delivered by one of our expert Evri Driving Instructors at a local Driving Academy site.

Once you’re fully qualified, you’ll be guaranteed an interview for a driving position with Evri. We believe in nurturing talent — and we never let great potential go to waste. By completing the Evri Driving Academy, you’ll be equipped with everything you need to become a valued member of our fleet.
