We’re thrilled to announce that Lucy has passed her C1 3a test at MT Training’s Tewkesbury Training Centre, marking a significant milestone on her journey to becoming a qualified LGV driver. Lucy’s achievement is a clear testament to the dedication, hard work, and high-quality training provided here in North Gloucestershire.

What is the C1 3a Test?

The C1 3a test is an essential component of the LGV qualification process. It focuses on off-road manoeuvring skills, ensuring that drivers can safely and confidently control a vehicle between 3.5 and 7.5 tonnes in confined spaces. During this test, candidates must demonstrate:

  • Precision Reversing: Accurately manoeuvring in tight spots.
  • Vehicle Control: Mastery of steering, gear changes, and braking.
  • Spatial Awareness: Understanding the dimensions of the vehicle to navigate safely.
  • Lucy’s first-time pass reflects her proficiency in these areas, as well as the thorough preparation provided by our instructors.
