Customer testimonials

First Time Pass

Thank you to all staff at The LGV training company. I was sent to a fantastic driving school in Hook where the instructors were fantastic and have an excellent knowledge of test routes and things to look out for. I was a bit nervous about taking my test on day 4, but in actual fact I passed first time with only 3 minors. I'd recommend The LGV training company to anyone adding additional entitlements to their licence or looking for employment within the sector.

Professional Service by Helpful & Friendly Staff

After explaining that my husband needed to take his CPC module 4 ASAP, we were very quickly contacted by a member of the booking team who offered us a cancellation for the following week. After completing the training, he passed first time. Thank you for your professional service throughout.

Experts in the field

We’ve got answers for your questions

How long does it take to learn to drive a HGV?

It takes around 6-7 weeks to learn to drive a HGV. This covers everything from applying for your provisional licence, to having a medical, and then learning the theory and practical skills you need to pass 4 tests for your licence.

How much does HGV training cost?

HGV training doesn’t have to be expensive – particularly if you opt for a more fast-tracked training route. By choosing a training school like ours, you can take advantage of a very competitive price, and get on the road faster too.

What qualifications do I need to be a HGV instructor?

None! All you need is a valid HGV licence, which you’ve had for at least 3 years. This shows you have the experience needed to supervise a learner HGV driver, and help support them through their tests. If you want to train officially, courses are available.

How much do HGV drivers earn in UK?

The amount a HGV driver in the UK can earn varies depending on employer, but typically the starting salary for a newly qualified driver is anywhere between £19-24K. If you have any more experience, like multiple licence categories, then you could earn up to £40K.
