Tractor driver training with obtaining a license in Moscow

A tractor driver is a worker who operates self-propelled machines used in urban and agricultural industries, construction and other industries. Self-propelled vehicles are divided into categories, which can be driven by drivers who have undergone professional training, have reached the required age, and have received a license.

Categories of driving licenses for drivers of self-propelled vehicles:

• A – off-road motor vehicles moving at a speed of no more than 50 km/h and not driving on public roads. Depending on the permitted mass, they are divided into subcategories I, II, III, IV.
• B – tracked and wheeled vehicles with motors up to 25.7 kW.
• C – wheeled 27.7-110.3 kW. For example - tractor MTZ 82
• D – wheeled ones more powerful than 110.3 kW.
• E – tracked over 25.7 kW.
• F – agricultural purposes.

Tractor drivers are in demand in the construction, mining, engineering, shipbuilding industries, agriculture, housing and communal services, and warehouse terminals.

An agricultural tractor driver must be able to operate a classic tractor, combine harvester and other specialized equipment.

A tractor-loader operator is one of the most in-demand professions in any region, since such equipment is used in the warehouse of any enterprise.

Differences between a tractor driver's license and a car license

The main difference is that the license to drive a tractor is issued by the State Technical Supervision Authority, while permits to drive a car are issued by the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate. Tractor driver training courses differ from similar programs in driving schools.

Licenses to drive special equipment are issued only at the place of official registration, that is, obtaining them in another region will be quite problematic. If the document is lost or damaged, the theoretical part of the exam is taken again.

A tractor license is considered valid for ten years.

How to get a license for a tractor

The only basis allowing driving agricultural machinery is the possession of a valid license to drive a tractor, which can be obtained by people who have reached a certain age:

• Category A1 can be assigned to candidates over the age of 16;
• categories B, C, E, F - from 17 years old;
• category D - from 18 years of age;
• categories A2 and A3 - from 19 years old;
• category A4 - from 22 years old.

You can get training in driving skills for selected vehicles at a state-licensed driving school. The availability of such a license must be clarified before the start of training courses.

After completing the necessary training, the candidate for a driver’s license will need to pass 2 exams - at an educational institution and at the regional Gostekhnadzor.

Self-training of the candidate in driving skills is also allowed. In this case, you will only need to take one exam, because The driving school is not involved in the training process.

What documents are needed

After passing the exam at a driving school or obtaining all the necessary skills (in case of self-study), you must submit a package of documents to the regional Gostekhnadzor.

List of documents on the basis of which a decision will be made on a candidate’s admission to the final examination:

• passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
• medical certificate;
• a document received as a result of training at a driving school (not needed in case of self-training);
• a completed card with personal data and information about the category of rights for which the candidate is applying (the form to fill out is issued before the exam for a tractor driver’s license).

What medical certificate is needed?

A medical certificate is an important document, without which the candidate will not even be allowed to undergo certification, not to mention driving a vehicle.

In order to receive it, you must undergo a medical examination by the following specialists:

• ophthalmologist;
• psychiatrist;
• expert in narcology;
• surgeon;
• neurologist;
• ENT;
• therapist (gives a final summary based on the opinions of all other doctors).

Theoretical exam

The purpose of the first part of the certification is to determine the level of knowledge of traffic rules and the degree of knowledge of the theory of safe operation of vehicles.

The exam is taken using tickets with questions or testing on a PC.

If the candidate already has a valid driver’s license (for example, to drive a car), then he is automatically exempt from checking the traffic rules.

An unsatisfactory assessment in one of the disciplines threatens a retake, which can be done within 7 calendar days from the date of unsuccessful certification.

Practical exam

At this stage of the examination, the candidate must demonstrate his driving skills in practice. This block is divided into 2 parts, similar to the exam for obtaining a driver’s license to drive a car:

1. Testing at a specially equipped testing ground (tractor track).
2. A special route similar to the operating conditions of the vehicle.

The exam must be carried out on a vehicle of the category for which the candidate is applying for the right to drive.

If a candidate passes the exam after self-study, he has 2 additional opportunities to retake it. In case of unsatisfactory results after all attempts, a retake will be available only after completing the appropriate training at a driving school and presenting a certificate of completion.

Stages of training

Training to become a tractor driver in Moscow is based on completing a theoretical and practical course, as well as passing a state exam.

Tractor driver training courses provide concepts of the design of self-propelled vehicles, as well as knowledge of working with various types of cargo. If the student does not have a driver's license, then the training program also includes learning the rules of the road.

During tractor driver training courses, school cadets learn to drive a self-propelled vehicle, perform maneuvers and handle loads.

The certification exam is divided into theoretical and practical parts. The theory can be taken either orally or using computer technology. Only successful completion of this section of training for the tractor driver category allows you to receive admission to the practical exam.

Based on the results of the practical exam, the Gostekhnadzor inspector makes a decision whether the candidate is allowed to drive a self-propelled vehicle or not.

If a student does not pass the exam successfully, subsequent attempts will be organized for a fee. Therefore, the price of training for a tractor driver will increase slightly.

Required documents for enrollment in the course:
