    How long is a piece of string? Fas run evening classes it cost's about 450 for ten hours instruction in a hgv truck.

    I take it you have never driven hgv (C, category) and if so about 10 2 hour lessons and I would look for One on One training. Some courses involve 2 or 3 pupils to one instructor. I WOULD NOT recommend this.

    Cost: 1000 euro average 10, 2 hours lessons and do them 2 per week not all together.

    If you are not working you may get help from the Fas, remember One to One training.

    Regards

    I think I did 4 or 5 lessons (2 hour) and passed.

    I did 10 lessons 1 hour each and passed but every one is different. I found that easy enough but I failed the artic test last Thursday :mad:

    I am going for my c license and I'm just wondering the difference between the C and C1? Do I have to do my test in the lighter catagory or can I go straight for the big one?? Does it work similar to the A and A1? Thanks Guys.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 69 ✭✭tormented


    Once you have the C licence it covers you for the C1, so you'd be better going for the C licence, best of luck with it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,674 ✭✭✭Faith+1


    Thanks a mill for that tormented! All I need to do now is pass the test!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 69 ✭✭tormented
