Training Overview

What Does the B+E Licence Allow?

A B+E licence allows the holder to tow a trailer up to 3,500kg behind a car or light vehicle, provided the combined gross weight does not exceed 7 tonnes. You must already hold a Category B licence to apply — no separate provisional licence is required, as B+E entitlement is automatically added to your existing Category B licence upon passing your test.

Weight Limits at a Glance

Trailer up to 3,500kg maximum authorised mass. Combined gross weight of car and trailer must not exceed 7 tonnes. Only a full Category B (car) licence is required to begin training.

For Businesses

Don't Let Towing Become a Compliance Risk.

Many businesses overlook the B+E licensing requirement when staff tow trailers as part of their role — whether in construction, agriculture, events, utilities, or transport. Drivers operating without the correct entitlement expose your business to significant insurance and legal liability. The Academy provides efficient, professionally delivered B+E training to ensure your drivers are compliant, your vehicles are properly covered, and your duty of care obligations are met.
