After receiving your Class C driving licence for the first time, you want to transport goods commercially. How can you meet the requirements?

To transport goods commercially after obtaining your Class C driving licence in Germany, you must fulfill specific requirements to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.

The accelerated initial qualification and the professional driver training programme are both essential. The accelerated initial qualification is a program aimed at new drivers to equip them with necessary practical and theoretical skills for commercial transport. Additionally, the professional driver training programme goes deeper into topics relevant to a career in transportation, including regulations, customer service, and operational practices.

The 35-hour advanced training course, while valuable for professional drivers, is not a requirement for transporting goods under the Class C licence. It mainly applies to drivers who need to renew their qualifications after a set period.

Thus, selecting the first two options together ensures that you meet the legal requirements to operate commercially, prioritizing driver competence and road safety under German traffic laws.
