Articles License & Training

The Licence & Training category covers every licence category issued in France and the related training pathways. You will find detailed guides on the B licence (car), the A and A2 licences (motorbike), heavy goods licences C, CE and D for professional transport, plus more specific permits like the BSR/AM for 50cc scooters, the coastal and inland waterway boat licences, and aviation certificates such as LAPL and PPL. For each licence, our articles state the minimum age, the number of training hours, the exams involved, the typical cost, and the main differences with other categories. We also cover professional pathways: delivery driver vocational qualification, FIMO and FCO for goods and passenger transport, and taxi/VTC training. Authoritative sources we rely on include Service-Public, Sécurité Routière, and France Travail for employment and funding. This section helps you pick the right licence for your personal or professional project and plan training without surprises. To go further, our quote form connects you with centres specialised in the targeted category.
