The Caravan and Motorhome Club has announced a new series of driver training courses for 2021. Whether you’re new to campervanning or just want to increase your confidence towing or driving bigger vehicles, a training course can help.
The Caravan and Motorhome Club has a range of courses ( camc.com/courses) taking place at 14 locations across the UK until October. The club is also partnering with Go!driving to offer B+E driving licence courses and tests. All courses are Covid-secure. Choose from: l Practical Caravanning: aimed at people
who are completely new to caravanning l Caravan manoeuvring l Motorhome Manoeuvring
The latter two manouevring couses take less than seven hours, while the practical caravanning course involves 10 hours of training over two days. Subjects covered include: Manoeuvring advice, straightforward safety checks and understanding the law, as well as manoeuvring practice. The caravan course will also cover hitching and towing safely, as well as loading. For drivers (who passed their test after 1 January 1997 wanting to tow larger vehicles (above 3,500kg), a B+E licence is commonly needed, the Club can now offer combined towing training and tests ( gotowing.co.uk) at nine Go!driving centres. Prices vary with a one-day course costing £390 (£444 in London and southeast locations), plus a £115 test fee. Two-day courses are £720 (£822 for London and southeast), plus the test fee.
