Our training
All B+E courses include the use of our vehicle and trailer for B+E training and test purposes. Training for the test exercises is conducted at our own private full-size training area.
The B+E test consists of the following requirements:
- * The ability to carry out safety checks on your vehicle and trailer
- * The reversing exercise
- * Uncoupling and recoupling
- * The drive
It is important to note that whilst you must be capable of carrying out the manoeuvres and exercises with the trailer, the driving part of the test is carried out up to the LGV driving test standard, therefore assessment and training will cover on-road driving to help ensure your general driving is beyond/above the required standard.
When deciding on a B+E towing course option it is important to be honest with yourself regarding your abilities, especially with reversing.
If you have no experience of reversing a trailer then extra training lessons can be given to perfect this, therefore increasing your chances of passing on your first attempt. Consider the extra cost involved if you require a re-test.
- * B+E Trailer training course is carried out over 2 days with the test carried out on the second day.
- * The 2-day course will only be suitable for people who experience reversing with a trailer.
- * Courses can be tailored to suit the individual/company requirements.
