Do you need to or your company need to tow a large trailer?
This course is for those who passed the driving test before 1 January 1997, and do not need a B+E licence.
Towing a large trailer or horsebox can be daunting. Our trailer handling and awareness courses are designed to increase driver awareness on and off the road, giving you the confidence to tow and handle a large trailer ensuring safety in loading, reversing and the general use of large trailers.
Companies benefit from there workforce completing a trailer handling and awareness course (duty of care) giving employees the knowledge to tow and reverse large trailers safely, reducing risk, damage and injury. This helps employers achieve higher safety standards, reducing accidents and insurance costs.
Many of our clients have been towing for some time, but need some help to master the reversing.

Did you know that drivers who passed a car test on or after 1 January 1997 are required to pass an additional driving test in order to tow large trailers and gain entitlement to category B+E and all larger vehicles. Category B Vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes MAM and with up to 8 passenger seats may be coupled with a trailer up to 750kgs MAM (allowing a combined weight up to 4.25 tonnes MAM) OR a trailer over 750kgs MAM provided the MAM of the trailer does not exceed the unlade weight of the towing vehicle, and the combination does not exceed 3.5 tonnes MAM.
All drivers who passed a car test before 1 January 1997 retain their existing entitlement to tow trailers until their licence expires. This means they are generally entitled to drive a vehicle and trailer combination up to 8.25 tonnes MAM. They also have entitlement to drive a minibus with a trailer over 750kgs MAM.
