A white Scania HGV training truck with "GS DRIVER TRAINING" branding drives along a tree-lined road in Wickham. The driver, wearing a hi-vis vest, is visible through the windshield. Large white text at the top reads "HGV TRAINING WICKHAM", and smaller white text at the bottom states, "with expert instructors, modern vehicles, and excellent pass rates".

Wickham FAQs

Can I start on C+E without Cat C?
Yes — our direct-access C+E route puts you in an artic from day one.

How many hours will I need?
Most C+E learners choose 24–40 hours depending on experience. We’ll recommend the shortest plan that still gets you comfortably test-ready.

Do I need Driver CPC?
If you’ll drive for hire or reward, you need Initial CPC, then 35 hours Periodic every five years.

Evenings or weekends available?
Yes — we align training and test slots to keep momentum.

I’m anxious about reversing.
We use simple, repeatable reference points and give you ample pad time before test day.

What if I don’t pass first time?
We’ll plan a short top-up and rebook promptly.
