LGV / PCV Driver Training

LGV C & C+E Driver Training

Step 1.

Provisional Application - Before starting training on a LGV you must first apply for the Category C provisional licence. There is no longer a fee for your provisional licence. (The minimum age for training is normally 21).

Our administrative staff can assist in the completion of application forms as well as arranging medical appointments.

Step 2.

Theory Test - The theory test requires you to have specific knowledge regarding Category C driving, as well as questions that apply to all road users. More detailed information can be found at www.highwaycode.gov.uk.

Step 3.

Assessment Drive - This will take place with one of our instructors and will last for an hour. Completion of this assessment will enable us to determine how much tuition is required to take you to test standard.
(This can be taken prior to passing the LGV Theory Test, as long as Category C Provisional has been obtained).

Step 4.

Practical Training - Our courses are tailored to suit the individual e.g. intensive or hourly lessons. Training is always carried out on a one-to-one basis, in our modern fleet of vehicles.

During the training we will familiarise you with all of the DSA test routes.
