16 but you can't drive it on L plates like you can a tractor.
It is a standard tractor licence for the motive power unit
But the RTITB course you have to be older
JCB at uttoxeter run courses
Good luck

A backhoe digger (such as a JCB) is Category F, the same as farm tractors, on a driving licence.
The minimum age for this category is 17 (or age 16 for tractors less than 2.45m wide, only pulling trailers less than 2.45m wide with two wheels, or four close-coupled).

For road purposes, 17 (the same as a tractor). However, construction sites often also require you to have a Site Safety Awareness Card and a certificate of competence in one form or another, and often to be over 21 for insurance purposes on site.

You don't need a licence for a digger if your refering to a shovel/spade or even a pick!
