Frequently asked questions
School training lorry and bus drivers: code 85.32.03 or driving school 85.53.00?
85.32.03 when driving is taught to professional drivers, such as lorry, bus, and coach drivers. The standard driving school for private category-B licences stays in 85.53.00. The professional audience is what places the activity here.
Forklift operator training course: does it fall under 85.32.03?
Yes, driving schools for professional forklift operators belong in 85.32.03. If instead the forklift course is part of a broader workplace health and safety package, look at vocational training under 85.59.20, which covers health and safety training.
I deliver CPC (Certificate of Professional Competence) and C/D/E licence training for hauliers: is this 85.32.03?
Yes, driving training for professional drivers falls under 85.32.03. It differs from a driving school preparing licences for private use, which is classified under 85.53.00. The professional purpose of the qualification remains the key criterion.
