HGV Training in Sussex – FAQs

How long to get an HGV licence?
Allow ~20 hours theory study. After you pass theory, practical typically starts in ~3 weeks, then your training and tests follow (subject to DVSA availability).

Do I need Driver CPC?
Yes, if you want to drive commercially for hire/reward. We coach and book Module 2 (Case Studies) and Module 4 (Practical Demonstration).

Automatic or manual?
Both available. Most modern fleets are automatic, which is ideal for the test and employability.

Which course length should I choose?
If you’re new to trailers, choose 28–32 hours. Experienced large-vehicle drivers may pass with 24 hours; we’ll advise honestly.

Can you arrange my medical and theory?
Yes — we can book your medical, set up theory revision, and handle 1a, 1b and 2 bookings.
