If you currently hold a pre 1997 D1 101 licence and wish to remove the 101 restriction you must apply for provisional vocational D1 entitlement in the same way as a post 1997 licence holder, you need to pass all the tests to obtain your vocational D1 licence.
We can also provide corporate fleet training and assessments for company vehicle drivers.
