D1 Driver Training For Passenger Transport
Our D1 driver training prepares you to drive a minibus with up to 16 passenger seats and a maximum length of 8 metres. This licence also allows towing trailers up to 750kg, making it ideal for schools, charities, care organisations, community transport, and small passenger transport businesses. Training develops confidence and practical skills for safe, professional driving.
Who Can Benefit From A D1 Licence
A D1 licence is ideal for drivers providing transport for schools, charities, local authorities, sports teams, clubs, or community groups. It also suits those in private hire or passenger transport for care homes, colleges, and similar institutions. This licence offers access to valuable passenger transport roles while ensuring compliance with legal and safety standards.


Personalised Training To Achieve Your Licence
Our one-to-one Category D1 training delivers clear, professional instruction from fully qualified, NRI-registered instructors. The course includes four sessions and your official DVSA driving test, giving you the practical experience and confidence you need to succeed. For career progression, we also offer training pathways for category D and category C+E (class 1) licences, expanding your driving opportunities.
I have just passed my course with Stuart the owner of Big Wheels, his teaching methods are second to none, clear and concise, he installed me with confidence from the outset, he himself is cool, calm and very confident in his appraisals of you and guides you flawlessly through every aspect of this intense course. Encouraging when needed and critiques in a positive way also, so you're left in no doubt what is required. I can't speak highly enough of the company and Stuart as a person. I have one box left to tick on my licence (Busses) and it will be Stuart that helps with that, if anyone is in any doubt or just thinking about getting their licence then give him a call even just a chat. Top bloke top job 👏
