TRS Training has updated its Category C and C+E HGV licence courses, offering car licence holders and existing Category C drivers structured routes into professional driving roles across UK logistics.

St Helens, United Kingdom, October 26, 2026 /PressCable/ -- TRS Training has updated its car to Category C, car to Category C+E, and Category C to C+E courses, giving drivers three separate HGV qualification routes, each concluding with a DVSA practical test.

The update comes as the UK’s HGV workforce continues to shrink and age. According to Logistics UK, driver numbers fell from 313,000 to 283,000 within a single year in the early 2020s, with only 4% of drivers currently aged under 25. TRS Training aims to address this gap by giving new entrants a clearer path into professional driving.
The car to Category C course qualifies car licence holders to drive rigid lorries over 7.5 tonnes and up to 32 tonnes, the vehicles used for delivery, refuse collection, removals and construction work. Many drivers begin here to build experience before moving on to larger vehicles.
The five-day Category C course covers around 20 hours of practical instruction, including walk-around checks, junctions, roundabouts, motorway driving, and overtaking. Progress is recorded throughout, and learners complete a reverse manoeuvre test before taking the DVSA practical test, which lasts approximately one hour. A mock test is included ahead of test day.
For articulated lorries up to 44 tonnes, car drivers can choose a five-day or nine-day car-to-Category C+E course. The longer option gives learners extra time behind the wheel. Current Category C holders can take a five-day C to C+E upgrade instead. A C+E licence opens access to long-distance haulage, supermarket deliveries, port container transport, and international freight roles.

Learners starting out can begin with an HGV starter package. It covers the medical, the D2 and D4 application forms, six months of online theory revision, live theory lessons, and booking for the Module 1a, 1b and 2 theory tests. Newly qualified drivers who plan to drive professionally can add Module 4 training, a four-hour session plus test for the legally required Driver CPC.
Courses run at TRS Training’s driving schools across the UK. Learners also have access to an on-site DVSA test centre, modular sessions, quick retests, PayPal instalment payment options, and connections to employers recruiting qualified drivers.

Transnational drug syndicates in the Philippines continue to thrive despite decades of crackdowns targeting street-level dealers, with analysts warning that regional suppliers, financiers and trafficking networks have largely eluded enforcement efforts. Former drug officials and security analysts say the country’s drug trade remains closely connected to a wider regional supply chain, with criminal groups relying on local partners, maritime routes and established distribution networks to move...
Artificial intelligence is no longer merely the driving force behind global semiconductor demand, but is also actively reinventing how chips are designed and built, industry leaders and scientists said at a major science forum in Shanghai on Friday. Chen Yunji, co-founder of AI chipmaker Cambricon Technologies, predicted that the integration between AI and chip design would eventually automate the chip design process entirely. “In the [next] 10 years, the most important development … is the RSI...
In recent weeks, Indian opposition leader Rahul Gandhi has frequently taken to the streets – joining protest marches, staging sit-ins at police stations and confronting authorities over alleged abuses of power and corruption. Often trading the formal attire traditionally worn by India’s political elite for a T-shirt and jeans, Gandhi’s high-visibility participation in grass-roots demonstrations has drawn wide attention as he seeks to place himself at the forefront of a growing movement of...
South Korea will file criminal complaints against students caught cheating on a national university entrance exam with smart glasses and toughen penalties for their use, a government official has said. Sales of smart glasses – which allow the wearer to shoot photos and videos and interact with an AI assistant among other abilities – are growing worldwide. But so is a backlash around the gadgets, including concerns over people being filmed without consent and their use by exam cheats. South...
Indonesia is looking beyond Singapore for petrol supplies as it seeks to reduce its dependence on a single source, but analysts say diversifying imports will do little to address the country’s fuel production shortfall without faster refinery modernisation and investment in alternative fuels. Indonesia has long sourced petroleum products from Singapore, including RON 90 petrol, which has a minimum octane rating of 90 and is marketed domestically as Pertalite. Singapore’s geographic proximity,...
China on Friday hit out at reported US intelligence allegations that a suspected Chinese spy had targeted Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang, dismissing the claims as “groundless speculation” aimed at smearing Beijing. “The relevant report is based on groundless speculation and [is] purely aimed at smearing and slandering China,” Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun told a regular media briefing in Beijing. The pushback came after US outlet The New York Times reported on Thursday that...

Recent school attacks across Malaysia have shone a light on a troubling trend of teenagers joining an online subculture that glamorises real-life killers, according to a prominent security analyst. Three violent incidents in Malaysian schools – in Kuching on October 21, Banting in July and Bandar Utama in October last year – could be linked to the True Crime Community (TCC), said Munira Mustaffa, founder of Kuala Lumpur-based security consulting firm Chasseur Group. In the Kuching case, the...
