About the Tunisia Category C Exam

Category C covers vehicles, other than Category D, with a PTAC over 3,500 kg, with a trailer of up to 750 kg. Candidates must be 20, hold Category B with the 2-year stage period completed, and present a certificate from an occupational doctor. They pass a 30-question ATTT theory test in Arabic or French and lorry road and manoeuvres tests at one appointment. This bank is an independent English-language MCQ study adaptation of the technical and regulatory knowledge behind those tests, not an official translation or a simulation of them.

Exam sponsor: Agence Technique des Transports Terrestres (ATTT) — Ministère du Transport. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Three tests: a computer-based theory test (Arabic or French, about 30 minutes), then a road test and a manoeuvres test in a lorry at the same appointment. The ATTT's Category C manoeuvre is reversing round a kerb (marche arrière avec contournement du trottoir). A candidate who fails either practical test retakes both; on success the examiner issues a provisional licence pending the original.

Time Limit

About 30 minutes (theory)

Passing Score

24 / 30, including 4 / 5 Category C questions

Tunisia Category C: Suggested Study Strategy

1Master the air-brake checks: build-up, warning pressure, leaks and the spring parking brake (Annexe 1, 7.1.5).

2Learn the Tunisian driving-hour rules from Décret n° 2000-145 rather than foreign rules: 9 hours a day, 45 minutes after 4½ hours, breaks of at least 15 minutes.

3Know the speed limits by weight: over 3,500 kg up to 12 t, 80 km/h outside built-up areas and 100 km/h on motorways; heavier lorries are slower.

4Remember zero alcohol for heavy-goods drivers and that the licence must be renewed every 3 years before 60.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Category C theory test marked?

It has 30 questions: you need at least 24 correct, including at least 4 of the 5 Category C questions.

Which manoeuvre is tested for Category C?

The ATTT lists reversing round a kerb. The road and manoeuvres tests take place at the same appointment, and failing either means retaking both.

3 years up to age 60, 2 years from 60 to 76 and 1 year from 76 (Décret gouvernemental n° 2021-510, Art. 20).

Can I take the tests in English?

No official English version is published: the theory test is in Arabic or French. This bank is an English-language study adaptation, not an official translation.
