We cater to the following categories: C1 (7.5t), C1+E (7.5t + trailer) C (Ridged), C+E (Articulated) and D1 (Minibus).
We can even tailor a direct car-to-C+E training course for you as required.
Our courses are generally tailored to fit your needs.
To give you some idea of costs, the prices below are quoted based on the average number of training hours for each category.

These prices may vary depending on how many hours of training you require, which is dependent on your driving ability. Less hours of training, and the cost will reduce!
Please be aware that courses need to be paid in full 14 days before the start date of training.
A deposit of £250 will be required. It is not possible to book without a deposit.
We would strongly recommend you take a 2-hour starter session before training. This gives you an opportunity to experience driving a larger vehicle before committing to a full course. It also gives us an opportunity to review your driving skills with regards to the number of hours of training we feel you will need to be test-ready.
Great communication while organising the course and explaining what needs to be done. Really friendly, supportive people made it fun and enjoyable. Felt fully prepared for the tests in a short space of time and now confident on the roads on my own.
Finance Your HGV Training
Learning any new skill takes time and money, and sometimes the cost of that training can make us think twice about progressing our skills and opportunities.
