Frequently asked questions (Brookwood)
How long does it take to get an HGV licence?
Most learners complete training and tests within 3–8 weeks, depending on medical/theory dates and diary availability.
Do you help with the theory test?
Yes—revision materials, mock exams, and 1-to-1 support are included.
Can I train in the evenings or weekends?
We offer evening and selected weekend slots to suit shift patterns.
Is passing in an automatic OK for my licence?
Yes. Passing in an automatic qualifies you to drive automatic HGVs (industry standard) and does not limit commercial prospects under current DVSA rules.
Do you offer finance or staged payments?
Ask our team about the latest payment options.
