Description

Cat D+E training allows you to drive a full-sized passenger coach while towing a trailer, offering greater flexibility for long-distance travel, luggage transport and specialist touring work. This licence is ideal for drivers operating in the travel, tourism or passenger transport sectors who require additional carrying capacity beyond a standard coach. With Cat D+E, you gain the skills and entitlement needed to handle a coach-and-trailer combination safely, legally and confidently on the road.

  • Category D licence already obtained (you must qualify for Cat D before adding D+E)
