Category D1 (Minibus) Licence

Get qualified to drive minibuses with up to 16 passengers with professional training designed to help you pass confidently and safely.

A Category D1 licence allows you to drive a minibus with up to 16 passenger seats, with a vehicle weight between 3.5 and 7.5 tonnes.

This licence is essential if you plan to transport passengers as part of your job or organisation including roles within schools, care services, community transport, and private hire.

Is this course right for you?

You’ll need a D1 licence if you:

Want to drive a minibus professionally
Transport passengers for work or voluntary organisations
Do not already have D1 entitlement on your licence

If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, you will need to apply for provisional D1 entitlement, complete a medical, and pass both theory and practical tests.

What does the training involve?

At HGV Training Glasgow, we guide you through the full process from start to finish including medical, theory preparation, and practical driving training.

Our courses are tailored to your experience level, helping you build the confidence and skills needed to pass your test and drive safely with passengers on board.

Once I passed my theory/hazard perception test, I the took my C1 training with Jordan, who made my driving experience a pleasure, Jordan was patient and made me feel at ease the whole time I was driving: advising on things I might change and letting me know when I had driven well etc, really relaxed me to the point of passing my test 1st time after 10hrs of lessons. Very happy customer.

I recently trained for a Class 1 license with Pass4me and managed to pass first time due to the great training I received. Everyone was very helpful, helped me gain confidence, and made the training enjoyable with the daft patter. Highly recommend David and the rest of the team if you are looking to do HGV training!
