The Urban Driver Apprenticeship is a 15-month programme where apprentices will learn all aspects of professional driving as well as gaining their Category C1 (7.5t) Licence. This is with a view to moving to a full-time 7.5t Driver position within DX upon completion of the apprenticeship.
Responsibilities include non-driving duties relevant to the role, such as office work, drivers' mate, and warehousing during training.
Apprentices will undertake a range of training alongside their daily role to develop their knowledge, skills, and behaviours. They will also obtain CPC licences, which are a legal requirement to drive LGV vehicles.
