New driver advice!

After working in engineering for some time, I need to start looking at more alternative secure work,
on the back of my drivers licence, there is B, but also C1 alongside C1+e. I passed my car driving test 1996.

However I’ve not trained to drive trucks, is this correct the C1 aswwll as C1+e should be on there or is this a mistake?

If this is correct, I would like to undertake some training - what sort of cost would this be?

Pre 1997 car licence gives FREE LGV C1 and C1+E but the C1+E has a 8250kg plated weight restriction

You can use your C1 now with no required training if you get a digicard and do 35 hours of driver cpc attendance which at the moment can be done by video online

ROG, Many thanks for the email, with the ‘digicard’ is this the Card Licence or a separate card?
