Common questions

Everything you need to know.

How much does HGV training cost?+

Prices depend on your licence, location and how quickly you want to qualify. Give us a call or send an enquiry and one of our advisors will send a tailored quote - usually within an hour.

Do you cover the medical and theory test?+

Yes. We book your DVLA D4 medical and send your starter kit so you can crack on with theory straight away. Our pass-guarantee programme supports you the whole way through.

Where do you operate?+

We're based in Guildford and cover the surrounding areas across Surrey and the South East - Woking, Farnham, Godalming, Aldershot, Camberley, Cranleigh and beyond. Tell us your postcode and we'll match you with the nearest training centre.

How quickly can I qualify?+

Most trainees complete from enquiry to passed test in around 4–6 weeks, subject to medical and theory availability. Intensive options can shorten this further.

Do you really help me find a job after I pass?+

Yes - our in-house recruitment team works with HGV employers across the UK and personally puts you forward for your first role. Most newly qualified drivers are placed within 3 weeks.

Are your instructors qualified?+

Every instructor is DVSA-approved with years of professional HGV experience. We take quality seriously - it's a big part of why we're rated 4.9 on Trustpilot.
