We’re celebrating another brilliant result at our Wetherby Training Centre—a huge well done to Jack, who has passed his Category C 3a test! This marks a big step on his journey toward becoming a fully qualified HGV driver and reflects his focus, determination, and hard work.

What Is the Cat C 3a Test?

The Category C 3a test is the first part of the practical driving assessment for gaining your HGV Class 2 (rigid lorry) licence. It focuses on off-road manoeuvring and tests your ability to handle the vehicle confidently in a controlled environment.

To pass the Cat C 3a test, learners must demonstrate:

✅ Accurate reversing into a designated bay

✅ Effective vehicle control using the clutch, brakes, and steering

✅ Good spatial awareness and judgement of vehicle positioning

✅ Safe and consistent driving techniques

Jack handled each element with confidence and passed with flying colours—an excellent result and a strong indicator of future success on his upcoming 3b test!
