Have a look on that site. ^
If your a new driver you have to do it in classes- Car, C1+E(7.5ton), C (class 2), C+E (class1). I think thats right.
Should have my test in a few weeks (class 2)

you have to do class 2 first, cost is about £1000 all in licence, theory, assesment, training & test. I think you have to stay as class2 for a year then do the training ect... for class 1.
If your a new driver you have to do the 7.5 ton test first.
Lucky for me the company i work for are paying
