HGV Training in Milford Recommended Training Schedules

  • Balanced pace: 32 hours over 8 days (4 hrs/day) – best for confidence and consistency.
  • Week-format option: Mon–Fri using mixed 4 hr and 8 hr days to fit your hours.

FAQs – HGV Training in Milford

How long will it take to get my HGV licence?
Allow time for theory study (~20 hours for most learners) plus practical training. After you pass theory, we typically start practical within ~3 weeks, then train and test soon after (subject to DVSA availability).

Do I need Driver CPC?
Yes, if you want to drive professionally for hire/reward. We coach and book Module 2 & 4 for you.

Automatic or manual?
We train in both. Most modern fleets are automatic; training in auto is absolutely fine for employability.

Which course length should I pick?
If you’re new to trailers, consider 28–32 hours. If you’re confident with large vehicles and trailer reversing, 24 hoursmay be enough. We’ll advise honestly.

Can you help with medical and theory?
Yes—set-up, apps, booking, and paperwork support are all available.
