Learning to drive a heavy goods vehicle (HGV) has been the key to a long and fruitful career for millions of drivers over the years. It can also be yours if you take HGV training with us. HGV Training Service (HGV) offers low-cost, high-quality training courses in almost four dozen national institutions. After completing the training, you can drive a full range of large-sized commercial vehicles, from trucks to dump trucks and garbage trucks. Best of all, you will have access to an industry with tens of thousands of jobs across the United Kingdom. You will never need a job if you have the proper training and the desire to be the best you are capable of.
High-Quality Training
HGV Training Service (HGV) is very proud of the quality of the courses we offer. We focus on quality, realizing that quality training provides driver qualifications necessary in the transport industry. Our students who have completed their training and passed the HGV practical skills test become productive professionals who make an excellent living, arousing the pride of their employers.
A student who completes HGV training and continues to obtain a commercial driver’s license is ready to start working in the field. But their training is not finished yet. Training is a continuous process that will continue throughout the driver’s career. At a minimum, professional drivers must undergo 35-hour CPC training every five years to keep their licenses. Training is conducted any time during the fifth year of validity of the current CPC driver certificate. Passing the training allows the driver to receive a new five-year certificate following the law.
Many UK transport companies value drivers willing to undergo other forms of regular training throughout their careers. For example, a company may conduct a one-day or two-day course for its entire team, designed to inform them about changes in legislation or best practices in the industry.
There are a few basic things about a commercial driver’s license that you might want to know before applying for HGV training. Firstly, it is the difference between the designations HGV and LGV. As mentioned earlier, HGV is an abbreviation for “heavy cargo vehicle”. The abbreviation LGV stands for large-sized cargo vehicles. Practically speaking, there is no difference between what these two anacronyms refer to. HGV is a British abbreviation, and LGV is a European abbreviation. Both of them belong to commercial vehicles weighing more than 3.5 tons.

At Sharan HGV Training Service, we prepare students to take practical skills tests at an approved testing centre. We don’t do the tests ourselves because we don’t have a license. However, we send a coach with each student to the testing site on the day of the exam. It allows the student to ask questions or receive any other help they need before taking the test.
If you pass your C1 driver’s license test, you can drive any rigid vehicle between 3.5 and 7.5 tons, such as an ambulance or moving truck.
If you are over 18 years old and want to get your C1 driver’s license, you will find that our whole approach to LGV is reassuringly different from other providers.
At Sharan LGV training, we set the standard for LGV training – that’s why our success rates are so high, and you’ll feel safe and supported throughout your C1 category training journey. What to expect:
