In order to start your training you must have the correct provisional licence and have passed the theory tests for that category. If you are taking Cat BE, CE, DE or are removing a restriction, you will automatically have the correct provisional entitlement on your licence and will not need to take a theory test.
If you are taking the C1,C, D1, D test you will need to have a medical, have your provisional licence and pass the theory tests for your category of vehicle. We have a starter pack that will take care of that for you.
