Obtaining your HGV / LGV Licence

If you want to learn to drive a large goods vehicle (HGV / LGV) you must have a full driving licence for a car, you have to be at least 18 years old and you have to pass a medical. For your medical, you need to take the orange form (D4 or DLM1 in Northern Ireland) to your doctor. We are happy to arrange this for you at no extra charge.

All drivers must pass the Category C (HGV Class II – Rigid) test before proceding to Category CE (HGV Class I – Artic).

Your HGV test will last about 90 minutes. During this time your examiner will want you to drive safely to a high standard under various road and traffic conditions. You’ll be given directions clearly and in good time and asked to carry out set exercises. The set exercises will include reversing within a marked area into a restricted opening, and you need to demonstrate the uncoupling and re-coupling procedure if you’re taking your test with a trailer.

Train with us and we’ll make sure you are fully prepared (no surprises) and you can take your test at our centre – exactly where you’ve been practicing!
