Successfully passing this test gives the category B+E that allows driver to tow a trailer up to a gross weight (trailer including load) of 3500kg.(3.5 tons). This means a vehicle and trailer with a gross train weight of 7,000kg.(7 tons)

What Our Pupil's Say About Us.
Pupil’s Reviews
After three previous unsuccessful attempts with a well-known driving school I had almost given up on driving, however, after a four day intensive course with Rob, after two years without any other professional instruction, I passed at the first time of trying. Rob was incredibly patient with myself who was incredibly anxious and I imagine was not the easiest person to teach! I passed today with only two minor faults and am absolutely over the moon! The entire booking process was smooth and easy and the car was impeccable, as was Rob’s professionalism. Many thanks to all involved, from the lady who took my booking to Rob and Paul themselves.

Having previously had some lessons with another driving school, I couldn’t believe the difference that was made in my driving with Rob from NWCC. Rob’s patience, knowledge, coaching skills, and friendly approach helped me considerably. I passed my driving test this morning with 1 minor. Thanks again Rob for all your support
