Sligo HGV Training

Assuming that you already hold a full licence for a car (Cat B) and are over 18 years of age, your first step will be to buy the latest edition of "Theory Test, Trucks and Buses" available from most book stores. This book also includes CPC case studies which you will require if you are planning to drive for reward (i.e., paid work). Once you are comfortable with the material in the book, you can then book your theory test at http://www.theorytest.ie. Please note that you should also book your CPC case studies test for the same time if you are planning on obtaining your CPC. You will be required to pass a medical and have your GP fill out and sign your driving licence medical report form (available here or at your local NDLS centre). This medical is valid for 1 month. Once you have your theory test and medical passed, you can then go to your local NDLS centre and apply for your learners permit. Your permit usually takes up to 10 working days to arrive in the post. You are then permitted to take lessons and sit your driving test.
