Can a C1 license be directly upgraded to an A2?

A C1 license cannot be directly upgraded to an A2. You can directly apply for an upgrade to A3, B1, or B2. The A2 driver's license is not something you can simply sign up for and take the test. China's driver's license management system is tiered, and to upgrade to a higher-level license, you must meet a series of conditions for the lower level to qualify for the exam. The upgrade process must follow certain steps. There are two upgrade paths: 1. From C1 to B1 to A2—C1 to B1 takes 3 years, and B1 to A2 takes another 3 years, totaling 6 years; 2. From C1 to B2 to A2—C1 to B2 takes 1 year, and B2 to A2 takes 3 years, totaling 4 years.
