They are designed for travelling mostly on motorways over long distances, they have a gross vehicle weight up to 32 tonnes.

Adam Coleridge, 35, West Bromwich, Birmingham.

“A friend of mine told me about HGV Training and that I should train up and change my career. I wasn’t at all happy with my job at a local printing firm. I got my licence after training for 5 days and I was ecstatic when I started having interviews by the middle of the following week. I got a job offer with a local haulage firm and I’m currently taking home about £430 a week. I would recommend HGV Training to my Friends. It certainly worked for me.”

Franklin Awori, 23, Croydon, Surrey

“I had been unemployed and had been signing on for 5 months. Luckily I saw an ad to train as lorry driver in the newspaper . HGV Training helped arrange an interest free loan for me. I took the platinum package and passed both tests first time; This allowed me into a job very quickly, I’m now a lot happier that I have the money to look after myself and my family”.

Daniel Blazevski, 43, Wembley, North London.

“I was originally from Eastern Europe where I had been a taxi driver for many years. All the jobs I got in the UK weren’t very good and mostly badly paid. When I decided to take your training I found it to be enjoyable, quick and easy. The Guaranteed Pass however helped me a lot as I was very nervous first time I took the test, even though I had been driving for years! I was also quite worried about getting a job, however I found no problems getting one quickly with a Big company. There were a lot of driver jobs being advertised. My new manager told me that my CV and the knowledge I had gained from the LGV intensive course really impressed him. He told me these two together had helped me to get the job over other candidates. I would definitely recommend your course to my friends”

Steven Partridge, 29. Stockport, Manchester.

“I was a bus driver for a few years before I decided to get my LGV licence. My father drove the big artics and it’s something that i’ve always wanted to do; besides I was sick and tired of the same bus routes and passenger problems. I chose HGV Training because I found them to be the most professional and friendly people to deal with. The whole process was very quick and help was always at hand. I didn’t have a problem getting a job, there were loads of vacancies in my area, and didn’t have to take any of the jobs that HGV Training offered. I referred HGV Training to 3 of my friends and I received £150 thank you gift.

Ensuring all of your Driver’s are up to code.

In today’s market, it can be extremely difficult to find new Driver’s. Most estimates say that there are over 80,000 unfilled driving positions available in the UK. This produces fierce competitions between corporations that are looking to hire certified Driver’s.

This shortage of qualified personnel makes it even more essential for companies to retain the employees that they currently have. One of the biggest issues that these companies will face is the need for all Driver’s to obtain the Driver CPC. Without this training, Driver’s will lose their licenses and no longer be eligible to work. To protect themselves from this new regulation, many corporations are sending their current employees through the training courses they need to receive their Driver CPC.
