    02. participated in a heavy machine operate course & get the certificate
    03. went on interviews & worked in a local logistic firm an assistant driver first, then the driver

    Thank you bro.
    Still, I have no idea about a separate category for prime movers. But most people telling there is something to do more than obtaining a heavy vehicle license. Got this info from a driving school

    There could be.. I just checked mine... I do not have the validity for A1, A and DE. Both A & A1 are for motorbikes. So it must be class DE. As you correctly said there are short courses offered by many places.

    Yes. I too saw some short courses but they are offering just a certificate. Is that enough to drive a prime mover in road?
    Do you have licence for CE?

    I contacted them. And they said they offer a certificate after 14 training but it may take 35 weeks to obtain a license. That's why bit confused.

    Yes , I do. The only missing ones are the motorbikes & DE. I am not sure about the prime movers though. That's why I thought it could be DE.
