Most of the Towing Courses are carried out for the local Caravan Centres, with customers travelling from as far away as West Wales , Scotland , Cornwall , Kent and the Continent.  

The combination of theory followed immediately by practical experience, provides the new caravaner with confidence and new skills to ensure carefree caravanning holidays.  

CAR DRIVING LICENCE FIRST OBTAINED SINCE 1st JANUARY 1997 - the Driver may drive vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes with a trailer up to 750kgs Maximum Authorised Mass (MAM) (total weight).  For towing a braked trailer over 750kgs MAM, the MAM of the trailer must not exceed the un-laden weight of the towing vehicle and the fully laden weight of both car and trailer must not exceed 3.5 tonnes MAM.

From 2012, on completion of some training, it is proposed that the MAM be increased to 4.25 tonnes.

For a heavier combination, the driver will have to take an additional driving test to qualify for the B+E entitlement. This will allow a total combination weight of 8.25 tonnes.
