Class C & CE Licence München: Truck Driving School for Professional Drivers, Logistics & Fire Services at Peters Fahrschule
Class C & CE
Heavy Trucks & Articulated Lorries.
No upper limit: Your path to the wheel of the heaviest machines. Expert training for haulage companies, construction firms, fire services and aspiring professional drivers.
The licence for the real heavyweights.
With the Class C licence in München you may drive motor vehicles over 3,500 kg with no upper weight limit. With the CE extension, heavy trailers are included – allowing you to drive road trains and full-size articulated lorries. We prepare you for the tough reality on the roads.
Logistics & Haulage
The backbone of the economy. With Class CE you drive 40-tonne trucks across Europe. The ideal start to a career as a professional driver.
Construction & Trades
Heavy crane trucks, tippers and construction machinery built on a truck chassis typically require at least a Class C driving licence.
Fire Service & THW
Heavy rescue vehicles, turntable ladders and large fire engines over 7.5 tonnes require a Class C licence for emergency operations.
What exactly are C and CE?
Class C – The Heavy Solo Truck
- Vehicles over 3,500 kg (no upper limit)
- Small trailer up to 750 kg GVW permitted
- Max. 8 passengers plus driver
- Minimum age generally 21 (18 with conditions)
Class CE – Articulated & Road Trains
- C towing vehicle + trailer over 750 kg
- The absolute maximum for goods transport
- Automatically includes C1E, BE and T!
- Recommendation: Always complete in a combined course with C
Your service is priceless – your licence becomes more affordable.
Without you, nothing works in an emergency! Anyone behind the wheel of a heavy rescue vehicle, driving a large fire engine or transporting heavy equipment for THW carries enormous responsibility – and needs a Class C or CE licence as a legal prerequisite.
That is why we offer all active members of fire services, rescue services and THW an exclusive discount on truck training. Simply mention it when registering and bring a short proof of membership.
- A service ID or confirmation from your station is sufficient
- Medical service training is generally recognised as proof of first aid
- Applies to professional and volunteer fire brigades, THW, BRK, ASB, DLRG etc.
Fire Service
Professional and volunteer fire brigades in München and the surrounding area benefit directly.
THW & Civil Protection
Federal Agency for Technical Relief and specialist units with heavy vehicle fleets.
Rescue Service
BRK, ASB, DLRG, Malteser, Johanniter – for all heavyweights on duty.
Requirements for registration.
Before we can get your truck training underway, a few administrative steps need to be completed. We help you and your employer with the planning!
Class B Prerequisite
A regular car driving licence is a mandatory prerequisite before we can enrol you in the truck theory course.
Minimum Age (generally 21)
Standard from 21 years. From 18 years possible for trainee professional drivers or emergency service personnel (fire service, THW).
Medical Fitness
You need a medical certificate as well as a comprehensive eye test from an ophthalmologist (not an optician!).
First-Aid Course (9 Units)
The comprehensive first-aid course is mandatory. Your previous course from the Class B licence may still be valid if it already covered 9 teaching units.
Why completing C and CE together makes the most sense.
Special Drives Saved
Separate training requires 20 mandatory hours. In the combined course it is only 14! You save 6 expensive special drives and a lot of time:
- 2x cross-country drives saved
- 1x motorway drive saved
- 3x night drives saved
Paperwork Only Once
One KVR application, one medical certificate, only one set of TÜV fees for the theory exam. The bureaucratic effort is cut in half.
Maximum Flexibility
With the CE combination you are immediately fully operational for any employer, as you are legally permitted to drive even the largest 40-tonne articulated lorry.
