[royzart]

Can anyone tell me whether there is a driving course
that takes you from 3.5t truck to 7.5t driver training
are my company obliged to supply the training
even though i have a licence to drive 7.5t

Hi, a lot of company's will put you through the test but ask you to fill in an agreement to the effect, If you leave the comp within a specified time you pay for the driving course. there are many HGV training schools around but you are talking lots of money, take your company's offer to put you through the test.

You wouldn't ned a test, as you already have C1 on your licence by the sound of it, because of your age.

However anyone born after a certain time does not get this on their licence, and has to be trained and tested. Therefore there are plenty of companies offering this course. You could probably do an abridged one due to your experience and the lack of need for a DSA test.

I don't suppose there is any legal obligation to put you though the course, but I would have thought they would listen if you requested it.

It doesn't matter when you were born, it's the date you took your test that counts. Before 97 you can drive up to 7.5T, after that date 3.5T
