Class C & CE Licence München: Truck Driving School for Professional Drivers, Logistics & Fire Services at Peters Fahrschule

Earning your truck driver's license in München opens the door to a whole range of careers. The Class C license covers trucks over 3,500 kg gross vehicle mass with no upper weight limit (plus a light trailer up to 750 kg), while Class CE adds the tractor unit and trailer combination over 750 kg — the articulated lorries and road trains that move 40 tonnes and more across Europe. Whichever route you take, you build on your existing Class B: it's the mandatory prerequisite before we can enrol you in the truck theory course. Want to start smaller? Our Class C1 training is the ideal stepping stone for vehicles up to 7,500 kg.

Who actually needs a Class C or CE license in München? Far more people than you might think. Professional drivers in haulage and logistics rely on CE for long-distance freight, while the construction trades need at least Class C for tippers, crane trucks and machinery built on a truck chassis. The fire brigade, rescue services and THW depend on it for fire engines, turntable ladders and heavy civil-protection vehicles. Even vehicle inspectors and appraisers at TÜV, DEKRA and GTÜ require C or CE simply to move the heavy commercial vehicles they assess — and for those pure inspection drives, no Code 95 is needed at all. Use our cost calculator to plan your individual budget.

The smart way to train is the combined C+CE course. Booked separately, Class C and Class CE each require 10 mandatory special drives (Sonderfahrten) — 20 in total. Completed together, you only need 14 instead of 20, saving six expensive lessons and a lot of time. Beyond the practical training you'll also need a medical report, an eyesight test certificate and a large first-aid course (9 teaching units). The standard minimum age is 21, but Class C is available from 18 for trainee professional drivers (Fachkraft im Fahrbetrieb) and for emergency-services personnel — note that for CE the from-18 route applies only with a completed professional-driver basic qualification, not under the emergency-services exemption. Whether you need the Code 95 professional-driver qualification depends on your use: it's required for commercial freight transport (via a full or accelerated basic qualification with IHK exam), but not for fire-brigade or private driving or the craftsmen's regulation. Learn more on our BKF / Code 95 modules page.

At Peters Fahrschule you train on a modern IVECO fleet (IVECO Eurocargo) as an IHK-registered training company established back in 1994. Class C starts from approximately €2,300, with the CE extension in the combined course from around €1,200 extra (minimum prices — the final figure depends on the number of lessons you need). Active members of the fire brigade, rescue service and THW receive a dedicated discount. Keep in mind that your license is valid for 5 years and is renewed simply by medical and eyesight report — no new test. Allow roughly 8–10 weeks for the München licensing authority (KVR) to process your application before training begins, so get in touch early. We train across München & the surrounding region: Haidhausen • Au • Giesing • Obergiesing • Harlaching • Ramersdorf • Berg am Laim • Trudering • Riem • Haar • Vaterstetten • Baldham. Our three locations in München-Haidhausen, München-Giesing and Haar — our dedicated truck-training site — are all conveniently linked to S-Bahn and U-Bahn.
