This category gives the right to drive a truck weighing 7.5 tons or more in combination with a trailer weighing more than 750 kg, which in total is an oversized vehicle.
The program requires full engagement during the on-site training module, as well as at least 50 percent engagement during the internship and certification preparation. Therefore, we recommend that you plan this time in advance to ensure successful completion of the course.
A letter of recommendation significantly increases a candidate's chances of receiving free training as part of a retraining program. We have introduced this option with the intention of encouraging female candidates to take a more active position in their job search. We believe that a letter of recommendation indicates the seriousness of the candidate's intentions and her desire to work as a truck driver after completing the course.
