One of the most important things when training for your HGV licence is the instructor you get, and this is the key to passing your HGV test. We can not only offer the best instructors, but we are also one of the few HGV schools that can offer both male and female instructors. The vehicle you drive is also essential. It needs to be a comfortable driving experience. It is also crucial for you to turn up on time, ready to train for the day.
Before starting your lorry licence, you must undergo an HGV driver's medical and submit the relevant forms D2 and D4 (these can be found by clicking the link below). On completion, you must send these forms, plus your photo licence, directly to the DVLA for approval. We can also guide you through this process, saving you time and money. Your training can begin once you're in Possession of your provisional licence. If you already have your HGV licence, you will need to look at the back of your driving license to check when you will next need to renew your licence.Click To Order D2-D4 Forms
