Applicants must hold a secondary education (ESO) or technical qualification, a Category B driving licence held for at least two years, and meet Group 2 psychophysical standards (art. 1.a, b, c). The training consists of a distance learning phase and an in-person phase (art. 5.2).

In 3 key points

  1. Application period of one month starting from the day following publication (art. 2.1). (art. 2.1)
  2. Requirement of a Category B licence held for a minimum of two years (art. 1.b). (art. 1.b)
  3. Passing subjects requires a minimum score of 70% correct answers (art. 7.1). (art. 7.1)
