Steps to Your New Career as a HGV Driver

Starting a new career as a Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) driver opens the door to stable employment, competitive salaries, and the freedom of the open road. Whether you’re changing careers, recently unemployed, or simply ready for something new, our comprehensive, step-by-step training program will guide you through the process from start to finish.

With full support, flexibility, and expert mentorship at every stage, our goal is to make your journey into HGV driving as smooth and successful as possible. Here’s how it works:

Every great journey begins with a first step—and for your HGV career, that starts with registering your interest. This is a quick and easy process that lets us know you’re ready to take the leap.

Once we receive your registration, we’ll begin putting together the foundations of your training plan. You’re not committing to anything at this stage—just raising your hand to say, “I’m interested.”

Whether you’re exploring options or ready to go all-in, this is the best way to get the ball rolling and receive more information tailored to your situation.

After you register, one of our experienced mentors will reach out to you for an informal, no-pressure chat. This is your chance to ask questions and share any preferences, concerns, or goals you might have. We’ll talk through your current circumstances, availability, and experience, and we’ll explain how our training packages work.

Our enrolment process is straightforward and supportive. We believe in offering training that fits your life—not the other way around—so we’ll work with you to tailor a plan that suits your schedule and goals.

Once you’re happy with the plan, we’ll get you officially enrolled and start organising the next steps on your training journey.

To become a qualified HGV driver, you’ll need to pass a medical examination. This is a legal requirement and ensures that you’re fit and healthy enough to drive large vehicles safely.

Don’t worry—this part is easier than it sounds. We take care of the arrangements by booking your medical exam at a centre local to you. You won’t need to chase appointments or worry about where to go. We handle the logistics so you can focus on what really matters—starting your training.

The medical exam itself is straightforward. It’s conducted by a qualified medical professional and includes basic checks like vision, blood pressure, and general health. 

Next, it’s time to prepare for the theory side of your HGV training. This includes multiple-choice questions, hazard perception, and the CPC Module 2 (if required).

Again, we make this easy for you.

We’ll book your theory tests for you at a local DVSA centre once your driving licence has returned from the DVLA, and you’ll get access to a high-quality revision app that covers everything you need to know. The app is designed to make studying flexible and effective—you can learn at your own pace, anytime, anywhere.

We also offer support and tips from our experienced mentors to help boost your confidence and ensure you’re ready when test day comes. Most of our trainees pass first time thanks to the resources and guidance we provide.

Once you’ve passed your theory tests, it’s time to get behind the wheel. This is where the real fun begins.

We’ll work with you to plan your practical HGV training around your personal schedule. Whether you’re juggling work, childcare, or other commitments, we offer flexible training sessions to make sure you can learn without added stress.

You’ll be taught by experienced, qualified instructors who will guide you through everything from basic manoeuvres to real-world driving scenarios. Training covers all the essential skills you’ll need to become a safe, confident HGV driver.

Once your instructor feels you’re ready, we’ll book your practical test. We’ll also prepare you for the CPC Module 4 (if applicable), ensuring you have all the certifications you need to legally drive for work.

Getting qualified is a huge achievement—but we don’t stop there. One of the most valuable parts of our service is the employment support we offer after your training is complete.

Our colleagues will work with you to:

We have strong connections with recruitment agencies and transport companies across the UK. Whether you’re looking for full-time, part-time, or flexible work, we’ll help match you with roles that suit your needs.

Many of our trainees secure employment within weeks of passing their practical test—some even have job offers lined up in advance.

We understand that starting a new career is a big decision. That’s why our entire process is designed to be as simple, supportive, and stress-free as possible.

When you choose us for your HGV training, you get:

You’re never on your own. We’re with you every step of the way.

If you’re ready to change your life and start a rewarding new career as an HGV driver, don’t wait.
