Expert HGV Training Leeds

While there are currently long delays for DVSA car driving tests across the country, this won’t slow down driving tests for prospective LGV and HGV drivers.

There are two reasons for this:

• The tests are different and completed at different test centres – negating any chance of delays for you.
• The government is enforcing measures to address the shortage of HGV drivers – including being able to skip passing rigid lorry tests before learning to drive an articulated lorry.

This means that no matter your current position in your learning journey, you can expect to be taking the appropriate driving tests within 5 days of beginning your practical lessons – usually on a Friday afternoon.

To get your HGV or LGV driving journey underway, contact us today. You can fill in an enquiry form and we’ll get back to you or you can give us a call and speak to our approachable staff directly.

In the current market, HGV driving is one of the most profitable and enjoyable careers new drivers could consider – with new drivers frequently exceeding £25,000 per year.

With unrivalled independence, the ability to fit work around your lifestyle, and freedom from monotonous office hours, HGV driving can change your life as you know it.

Similarly, as the UK is currently experiencing a driver shortage, companies have an abundance of work to offer, giving you excellent job security and plenty of job choices.

To find out more about how HGV training in Leeds could be the job for you, you can call or email us today at contact@hgvtrainingnetwork.com. Our friendly advisors can answer any questions you may have and start the process for you when you wish to proceed.

As each service from the HGV Training Network is completely bespoke, we will need some more information from you before we can give you a quote for HGV or LGV driver training in Leeds.

The reasons for this are twofold:

• Every learner has a range of previous driving qualifications
• Every learner will have different experience levels

This means we are unable to give a generalised price breakdown, as the training program for one learner can be completely different from the training program of another.

All learners wishing to train as an HGV driver will need to complete a medical assessment before they begin any other training.

This ensures they are healthy enough to complete long journeys in heavy goods vehicles and do not pose a risk to themselves or others – limiting the chance of a health-related road traffic accident.

A medical test is the first step for any learner, which means that if the DVLA does not deem you fit to drive, you won’t have invested a lot of time into training for a new career.

Our team at HGVTN can arrange your medical and support you throughout the process, keeping your mind at ease.

For more information about the medical test, you can call or email us today at contact@hgvtrainingnetwork.com. We can answer any remaining questions or book you in for HGV training in Leeds when you are ready.

With over 50 locations across the UK, there will be a local site for pretty much everyone looking to complete HGV or LGV training, no matter where they live.

While most people choose to attend the closest training site to their home, your choice of training location is completely up to you – as long as you can reliably commute to the training facility during your week of practical training.

If you think you might run into problems commuting, it may be worth rethinking which training centre is best for you, as delayed starts will directly affect your learning.
