PCV Minibus Training across Great Britain

Cat D1 (Minibus)

The minibus PCV Category D1 test is for those people who would like to get their category D1 minibus licence, to be able to drive minibuses with up to 17 seats (including driver’s seat) and derive an income from driving minibuses for hire and reward.

People who passed their Category B Car test before January 1997, will already have Category D1 on their driving licence, however, there is a code restriction 101 attached to this entitlement which does not permit you to drive a minibus for hire and reward. Therefore, if you have this '101' restriction on your licence, then you can drive a minibus for private use, providing you are not doing it for hire and reward purposes.

If you would like to drive a minibus for hire and reward (ie to earn money for it), then you must sit and pass the D1 minibus test.

Whatever option you choose Sandy Arthur Training Services can assist you every step on the way. They can manage (at no extra cost) the whole licence acquisition process, from medical to final practical test. Why not call our professional team today and get your career into gear.
