Theory test
If you wish to obtain your category C/C1 driving licence, you must first pass a theory test. The basic test is made up of 50 multiple-choice questions. The test to obtain a professional aptitude certificate (PAC) includes 50 additional questions, as well as 8 case studies and an oral test.
To prepare for your test, you can choose between taking theory training at an accredited driving school or doing self-learning training.
Passed?
If you pass the theory test, you will be issued with a request for a provisional driving licence, that will enable you to obtain your driving licence from your local council within a period of 3 years following the time you pass the theory test. You will have the choice between a practical driver training course at an accredited driving school and private driver training.
Failed?
If you fail the theory test, you cannot present yourself to take the test again on the same day that you fail.
