General

There are countless reasons to take your truck theory course with NuVrachtwagen! Here are the most important ones:

  • We take care of everything for you, from the exam to transport to the CBR
  • We provide plenty of personal guidance, both before and after the exam
  • At NuVrachtwagen, you get completely unique course materials
  • You get extra courses free of charge if you have dyslexia
  • There are virtually no waiting times at Nuvrachtwagen
  • Our courses are available throughout the Netherlands
  • The highest pass rate in the Netherlands

You sign up through our website, and we take care of the rest. What do we provide? Easy-to-remember mnemonics, clear language, proven learning methods and the expertise of our experienced teachers. As a result, our students achieve an exceptionally high pass rate in the CBR truck theory exams. More than 80% of our students pass the exam on their first attempt!

A course day at NuVrachtwagen starts early. We want to make the most of the day. You are expected at the course location early in the morning (you'll receive the exact time by email and text message). After around 5 hours of exam-focused lessons, the whole course group leaves for the CBR to take the exam. The instructor will meet you at the CBR and guide you there.

After taking the exam, you discuss it with the instructor. If you've passed, we'll celebrate with a nice photo for social media. If you haven't passed, you'll discuss with the instructor what you need to do to pass on your second attempt.

Good preparation is half the battle! We won't stop you from reading through the books beforehand. But in principle, you don't need to prepare for a course day at NuVrachtwagen. We teach you everything you need to know for every course.

The instructors at NuVrachtwagen are experienced trainers with a wealth of knowledge. They are employed by us and are therefore responsible for all our students!

There are 3 categories of truck driving licences.

C1: A truck driving licence without Code 95. This is a motorhome driving licence.
C: The truck driving licence.
CE: A driving licence for driving with a large trailer.

Our courses and exams are very comprehensive and are valid for all truck driving licences.

Now you can get started with the most enjoyable part: the practical lessons. Over the years, NuVrachtwagen has built up partnerships with the best practical training providers in your area. Call or email us for a free trial lesson after you have passed your theory exam. You may even get a discount from the practical training provider.

At Nuvrachtwagen, we take care of everything for you. The only thing you need on the day of your theory exam is valid identification, such as a passport, identity card or driving licence.

Until recently, the truck theory exam was divided into RV1, V2C and V3C. As of 1 September 2022, these have been changed to “modules”. The division is as follows:

The first module (RVM1) is compulsory for everyone who wants to obtain a (small) truck driving licence. The topics covered in this module are traffic, vehicle technology, cargo and legislation (administration).

The second module (VM2-C) builds on the first module and is intended only for students who want to obtain their driving licence with code 95. This applies if you will be using your licence professionally (more than 12 hours per week). Topics covered in this module include vehicle knowledge, vehicle technology, electronic systems and securing cargo. To be admitted to this exam, you must have passed module 1.

The third and final module of the (small) truck driving course, VM3-C, like VM2, is intended for students who will use their licence professionally. This module focuses mainly on administration, legislation, safety, health and the various sectors.

Price

Each truck theory module costs €275. This includes the exam fee. So you pay €750 for all three modules, including the exams. There are no hidden costs.

For NIWO modules, you pay €365 euro per module, excluding exam fees. These exam fees may vary by module.

Included in the price:

  • The course, of course
  • The exam after the course (not for NIWO components)
  • Transport to the CBR, if needed
  • Coffee, tea and sweets

You can pay via iDeal or PayPal. You can also pay in cash on the day itself.

Each component must be paid for before the course day begins. In principle, you pay for the entire truck theory or NIWO course at your own pace, since you can choose the intervals between courses yourself.

Location

The courses take place in various cities throughout the Netherlands, so you can be sure there’s always one near you:

Amsterdam, The Hague, Eindhoven, Breda, Enschede, Goes, Leeuwarden, Maastricht, Utrecht, Zwolle. You can find all our locations at the bottom of our website!

We run several courses every day across the country. You can check our website to see when courses are scheduled at each location. You can also register directly there.

This is currently not possible. Lessons are held at a physical location. This allows us to provide better personal guidance and increases your chances of passing on your first attempt!

We are working on an online practice platform that will explain the theory using videos. It won’t be exam-focused like our courses, but it may help you prepare. Check our website for more information.

If you want to work in the transport sector with a category C driving licence, you need code 95, formerly known as the “professional driver qualification”. This consists of theory and practical training. After obtaining code 95, you must also keep it up to date with periodic training. You must complete a total of 35 hours of periodic training within 5 years, after which code 95 expires. That's 7 hours per year. You can spread these hours out or complete them consecutively, as long as you have completed 35 hours of periodic training within 5 years.

Our courses and exams at the CBR for VM2-C (formerly V2C) and VM3-C (formerly V3C) include Code 95. After your theory exam, only the practical component remains.

Sign up here for the Code 95 course.

For Code 95 periodic training, we offer 4 theory courses and 1 practical course, each consisting of 7 hours.

Of the five courses, a maximum of three can be completed through e-learning. An e-learning course consists of 4 hours of e-learning, with the remaining 3 hours of theory taught in a classroom at our location. Usually, the e-learning is used during the practical part to save costs.

The costs are:

  • Social safety and dealing with aggression (€150)
  • Lifestyle (€150)
  • Physical strain (€150)
  • Tachograph (€150)
  • Driving optimisation (practical) (€254)

Yes. All our course materials are certified and approved by the CBR. We are a recognised vocational training provider (CCV) with the CBR, authorised to organise refresher courses and register candidates for them. Candidates are not tested or examined by the CBR. Attendance is generally sufficient. We follow a lesson plan/schedule during the courses and submit it to the CBR. The CBR regularly checks that we carry out our work properly and in accordance with that schedule.

To start a business in the transport sector, a visit to the Chamber of Commerce is not enough. You also need a NIWO licence. You can apply for one through NIWO. One of the requirements for a NIWO licence is a NIWO diploma. We offer courses for the NIWO diploma. It consists of 6 components:

You must pass all six exams within five years. The results of the exams you have passed remain valid for 5 years. The order in which you take the exams does not matter.

Once you have passed all six exams, the CCV will automatically send you the certificate by post. This happens automatically, so you don’t need to apply for it yourself. The certificate of professional competence remains valid indefinitely.

With an NIWO permit, you can start a business in the transport sector.

The courses currently cost €340, excluding exam fees. This will increase to around €400 per component within the next few months.

You can earn your NIWO diploma at NuVrachtwagen! We also have a partner who can help you apply for the NIWO licence. If you wish, we can refer candidates to them. Please contact us via the contact form for more information.

Other

Our courses were originally developed specifically for candidates who have difficulty learning or reading. For example, all “difficult” words are translated into simple, easy-to-understand language.

You can let us know in advance if you have difficulty learning, for example because of dyslexia, fear of failure or difficulty understanding the language. You can then take the course several times free of charge without immediately taking the exam. You only start the exam when you are ready.

If you do fail, we will review your mistakes with you. If we think it would be better for you to take the course again, you can do so with us at no extra cost.

The result is valid for 2 years.

Have you already passed several modules and are no longer sure which ones you still need to take? We’re happy to help you find your way. Go to our More Info Exams module. That way, you’ll know exactly which exams you still need to take.
