D1 8 Hour Course (Cat D1)
The D1 8 Hour Course with GS Driver Training is a fast and focused way to gain your Category D1 licence. With this licence, you can legally drive minibuses with 9β16 passenger seats. Therefore, this course is perfect for schools, care homes, charities, community transport, or private individuals who need to drive a minibus safely.
This training option is designed for learners who already have their driver medical, D1 provisional entitlement, and theory tests completed. Once those steps are done, you can move directly into 8 hours of practical training in a modern D1 vehicle with a DVSA-approved instructor.
During your course, you will practise reversing manoeuvres, safety checks, and confident on-road driving. Because the package also includes both the Module 3a reversing test and the Module 3b on-road test, you complete everything in one straightforward process. As a result, you finish with the skills and confidence to pass your D1 test.
