BE training (small E)
To obtain a BE card, you must pass a theory and driving test. Driving lessons are not compulsory, but are strongly recommended.
You need a BE licence if you drive a combination of vehicles with a total mass exceeding 3500 kg and a trailer weighing between 750 and 3500 kg.

When do you need a BE licence?
A BE licence (also known as a "Little E") is required for trailers weighing between 750 and 3 500 kg and the total mass of the combination exceeds 3 500 kg.
With a BE licence, you can drive a combination of vehicles with a passenger car or van as the towing vehicle and a maximum towing mass of 3 500 kg (category O2). This means that the maximum total mass of the combination can be up to 7 000 kg, i.e. the maximum authorised masses of the towing vehicle and trailer combined.
There are two factors that affect the tractor-trailer combination:
1. Licence requirement based on the maximum permissible (theoretical) gross laden mass of the towing vehicle and trailer.
2. The maximum permissible trailer mass, i.e. the mass that the wheels of the trailer can apply to the road (classification mass), as stated on the registration certificate of the towing vehicle.
With a B licence (a towed car or van with a maximum total mass of 3 500 kg), you can tow a trailer with certain weight restrictions:
- The maximum mass of a trailer may not exceed 750 kg (category O1).
- If the mass of the trailer exceeds 750 kg (category O2), the total mass of the combination must not exceed 3 500 kg.
