With our fast-track HGV C+E training courses, you could be road ready in as little as 6 days, gaining the skills and qualifications needed to drive any large goods vehicle, including articulated lorries.
You must pass a DVLA Group 2 medical examination (completed on a D4 form) before driving on a provisional HGV entitlement. Your GP can conduct this, or we can refer you to an approved medical practitioner. Conditions such as well-controlled diabetes or previous heart issues are not automatically disqualifying. We'll guide you through the process.
Category C covers rigid HGV vehicles over 7.5 tonnes (e.g. curtainsiders, tippers, tankers). Category CE adds the entitlement to drive articulated lorries (artics) with a trailer, the type you see most on motorways. Cat CE commands the highest driver pay and opens the most job opportunities. You must hold Category C before training for CE.
Many employers will fund your HGV training in exchange for a commitment period with them once qualified. This is one of the most common routes people take. Speak to us during your free consultation and we can help point you in the right direction.
The UK is experiencing a significant shortage of qualified HGV drivers, making the job market extremely favourable. An experienced Class 1 (C+E) driver can typically earn between £35,000 and £50,000 per year, with specialist drivers earning £60,000 to £80,000 annually.
Yes. You need to pass the HGV theory test (multiple choice) and hazard perception test before sitting your practical driving test. However, you can begin practical training while your theory test is booked. We'll provide study materials and mock tests to help you prepare. The theory test is taken online at a DVSA test centre.
Yes, a full Category B (car) driving licence is all you need to start HGV training. You don't need any prior lorry or van experience. We accept trainees from all backgrounds, including career changers, school leavers with a full car licence, and existing drivers looking to upskill.
