Drivers with an automatic LR or Car driver’s licence must first upgrade to an LR manual or Class C Licence before applying to the ambulance service.

If you however you only have an Automatic Car licence you will either have to do a driving test in a manual car either before or after you obtain your Light Rigid licence.
