Training Breakdown

Pending a successful interview, our trainers will call you within two days to organise your medical assessment, these will usually be completed within two weeks. If the medical is satisfactory then our trainers will support you via phone/Zoom to complete your D2 application form for provisional entitlement. You will liaise our trainers when you receive your licence back or if you hear from the DVSA before us. Once your provisional has arrived, we will liaise with you to give you the next available start date.
Theory
Once the D2 form has been sent off you will receive a online theory study pack for the multiple choice, hazard perception and Mod 2 CPC questions followed by an email from DT4All with log in details. You will be sitting your theory test within four weeks from sending your D2 application.
