Van Drivers are required to transport different types of products, including computers, furniture, domestic appliances, documents, parcels, food, etc. They can also transport money using special vans for that purpose. This job require different types of driving licences depending on van size, for instance, vehicles between 3.5 and 7.5 tonnes requires a driver with a C1 licence.

A Van Driver usually performs many of the following tasks:
• Planning routes.
• Checking vehicle parts.
• Loading goods to the van.
• Keeping records of deliveries.
• Obtaining signed receipts from goods´ delivery.

Van Driver job placements just require a driving licence, including good driving record and skills in Math and English. In cases of larger vehicles, it is required to have a C1 licence and pass medical examinations. This type of licence is for large goods vehicles between 3.5 and 7.5 tonnes.

Special cases like drivers for cash and valuables transport need an SIA licence. This also requires the completion of the National Open College Network level 2 award in cash and valuables in transit.
