The Best HGV Training Worthing

This depends on the location and company you decide to train with – HGV training costs are also subject to the amount of tuition you need.

If you’ve had previous experience learning how to operate HGVs legally, you’ll likely need less tuition. On the other hand, if you’re new to HGV driving, you’ll require much more.

At HGV Training Network, we tailor training packages to each trainee driver and provide flexible finance plans to spread your course fees into smaller payments.

Starting salaries for entry-level drivers average between a generous £25,000 and £40,000, so you can be sure you gain a mouth-watering wage even as a new driver.

As you collect more vital experience in the industry, your wage could increase to £55,000 and beyond. Employers usually set their salaries subject to location, distances travelled and the types of goods you’re transporting.

Yes – there’s a growing need for HGV drivers in the UK due to the ongoing shortage of professional HGV drivers. This is only rising, with the ongoing UK shortfall estimated to be at 50,000 drivers.

So why not take advantage of these opportunities? At HGV Training Network, our expert instructors help trainee drivers to obtain their HGV licence. Our committed team and recruitment partner will also work to pair drivers with their ideal roles amongst the high number of available openings.

There are several different vehicle types you can operate with an HGV licence. However, some do require additional qualifications to do so.

CLASS 2 – CAT-C

The Category C licence allows operators to drive vehicles with a minimum capacity of 3.5t and a maximum of 32t.

Most companies rely on class 2’s, so drivers of this vehicle are coveted. Driving one can earn a generous yearly salary of up to £30,000.

CLASS 1 – CAT C+E

The Category C+E licence permits you to drive lorries with a maximum weight limit of 44t.

A Cat C licence is required to acquire a Class 1 licence – but the extra qualification is worthwhile – drivers of C+E vehicles earn the highest salaries, averaging a mouthwatering £40k annually.

7.5 TON – CAT C1

Cat C1 vehicles are used for driving in built-up areas. This licence is required by law to operate ambulances and drive horse boxes. A CAT 1 licence enables drivers to manoeuvre vehicles above 3.5t but not above 7.5t.

Drivers of CAT 1s can earn a great wage, with an annual salary averaging £24,000.

At HGV Training Network, we provide some of the most reasonable rates around for HGV training – however, costs depend on the amount of training you require and how quickly you learn.

Naturally, if you’ve had prior experience with HGV driving training, you shouldn’t need as much which will lower the fees. Differently, if you’re new to HGV training, it will likely cost you more as you’ll be needed more time with your instructor.

With us, you don’t need to worry about upfront payments – we offer flexible finance packages to fit all budgets. So, you can split the costs of your course across three years rather than paying one lump sum.

Earning your HGV licence comes down to practice, hard work and elite training alongside a professional instructor.
