Written by ChrisDecember 18, 2017

It is no secret that there is a severe shortage of truck drivers in the UK. The situation is expected to worsen if no major step is taken to encourage more people to join the HGV industry. The Freight Transport Association (FTA) has openly admitted that the transport industry is clearly unable to get young people to stay in the industry.

I want to express my sincere appreciation for HGV Training Network in particular Richard, and the incredible support they provided throughout my HGV training journey. From the very start, they made the entire process so much easier by guiding me through the paperwork, helping with form filling, and ensuring everything was submitted correctly and on time.What really stood out to me was how accessible and supportive they were—any time I had a question or needed reassurance, they were just a phone call away. Whether it was about medicals, theory training access, or what to expect next, they were always ready to help, never making me feel like I was on my own.They also gave me access to excellent online theory training resources, which were a massive help in preparing for the theory tests. Thanks to their step-by-step guidance and consistent check-ins, I felt confident and well-prepared throughout the process.HGV Training Network truly played a key role in helping me reach this milestone, and I’d happily recommend them to anyone starting out on their HGV journey.Thank you Richard, you made the whole experience easy to follow and having a chat with you put me at ease every time.

Taking the leap to a new career within the HGV industry is something many people are interested in but don’t follow through with it as the process can be dawning well I can honestly say HGV Training Network make the process a breeze, take it from me I passed my class 2 first time they done all the work which gave me the opportunity to just focus on my training it may cost a lil more then you booking everything and going through the whole process but honestly it’s worth it as it saves you all the messing about

This is the best place you can get a top notch HGV training. They will literally hold your hands and walk you through every step and process.I got my C+E licence through them. And even when I didn't have the finance to start the journey, they made sure I got the finance I needed and I passed all the tests without having to repeat any. I guess it boils down to my determination and making use of all available materials and training provided to me by the HGV Training Network. And they are willing to help me work out my CV at no additional costs.Above all, they don't compromise on high standards of training. What an experience 😊.

Do you want to jump, in the safest magical hands, from CAR to HGV C+E, and PASS 1st time? Look no further, look nowhere else: the best experts in the entire Universe (for lack of better words) are at HGV Training Network. Chris, John & Richard: pure gems of customer service. No one, I mean no one should be allowed to die without experiencing the world class customer service delivered by these first-class professionals. And no words of praise and gratitude are enough to write about another Chris and Dave: in the hands of these heaven-sent alchemists, at the speed of lightening - that I am still struggling to comprehend – I went through nothing short of a metamorphosis: one day I was an ordinary car driver, the next I had conquered the road at the wheel of an artic. WOW! Truly, truly my mind boggles at such a sterling job done by masters of sterling worth. Oh, yes! Yes, yes, yes, I will forever recommend HGV Training Network at home and abroad, in Heaven and on earth. Thank you so much for changing my life. God bless you ALL.

Martin Ross

After recently facing redundancy, I made the decision to reinvest in myself by pursuing HGV driver training. Unsure where to begin, I reached out to various HGV training companies for advice, only to feel somewhat disheartened by the responses.Thankfully, my fortunes changed when I discovered HGV Training Network through positive reviews. Upon contacting them through their website, Ben promptly reached out to me. He not only assisted in choosing the appropriate license category but also explained their comprehensive package, inclusive of their own online portal for theory, hazard perception, and continuous support throughout the training journey.Dealing with both Ben and Richard during my training has been an absolute pleasure. They have consistently demonstrated a high level of professionalism, personability, and unwavering support at every stage of the process.I am thrilled to announce that just three months after initially connecting with the HGV Training Network team, I am now a fully qualified Cat C HGV driver, ready to embark on my driving career.A heartfelt thank you to Ben and Richard for being true heroes in my journey.
