you have to be able to have a class c licence
No. It means you have a learner's permit. Licence classification varies by state. In some states, a Class C licence is a 'typical' licence, and, in other states, classes A, B, and C are reserved exclusively for CDLs, and a standard operator's permit would be class D or E.
What type of Class C licence, exactly? A basic drivers licence in California is known as a Non-Commercial licence, or Class C licence. HOWEVER, there is a Class C Commercial Drivers Licence, intended for vehicles under 26,000 lbs. GVWR which are placarded to haul hazardous materials, designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver), etc. If it requires the non-commercial licence, there's no requirement to possess a medical card. If it requires the Class C Commercial Drivers Licence, then, under federal law, you must always have a valid DOT medical card in your possession at all times when operating that vehicle.

You need to identify which state. The only licence classes which are universal throughout all 50 states are the CDLs - Commercial Drivers Licences, which come in Class A, Class B, and Class C. Non-CDLs are left to the states to categorise and determine classifications. A Class D licence in North Carolina is a Class R licence in Colorado, etc.
No. You would need to get their E+C licence.
New York is eliminating the non-CDL Class C licence. The previous non-CDL Class C is now the Class D licence, which allows anyone 18 or over (or 17 during driver's education) for non-commercial use vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating/Gross Combination Weight Rating of 26,000 lbs. or less.
Yes, so long as you meet the age requirement.
Nowhere. You need to have a drivers licence before you can get a CDL.
You need a basic drivers licence before you can upgrade to a CDL. The class of the basic operator's permit varies by state - in some states, it may be Class C, while others will have different classifications for it.
