- Everything you need to know to get your HGV licence.
Since November 2021 how you get your truck licence in the UK has changed. This video will explain what you need to know to get qualified to drive a HGV. This video will also warn you about the hazards of NOT doing your research when searching for a HGV training company. We strongly urge you go direct to a local HGV training company in your area, rather than using a broker

Thank you for your time 🙏👍
Your welcome
Hope it helped
Thank you for the grate information,
Our pleasure!
*one of the best video on RUclips cover all need thanks mate*
That’s very kind of you to say. Thank u
Just avoid those pesky brokers mate!
Great video thanks mate wish I had seen it earlier. I had a hell of a time getting this info when I first started looking into getting my hgv license
Thank you. I hope this guides you in the right direction. Just stay clear of those brokers!!!!!!!
Excellent video with a key message. Enjoying your point about Brokers 👍🏻
Thanks Essex Transport Training.
Thank you🫡
Thanks hope it helped
Nice video mate professional stuff whell done
Thank you.
Great video, very informative 👍
Thank you very much for your kind comments
Hope the info helped
Thank you.
The video is spot on.
And the last minute of it was probably the most important to me.I am looking for job security mostly not just the massive pay.And also you saying the wages are comparable.Extremely.And i would say it may be easier get a job without experience as C driver,instead C+E.
I do have class 2 since 2008.Then i stayed on Flt driving due to the wages being basically the same level.
So instead of going through this lengthy and pricey process of c+e.
I will just do the cpc training.
Its cheaper,quicker and then it only matters if someone gives me chance to get a job without experience.
I am currently on the jobcentre for couple months and will try to find out if i can get help with the cpc.
I am in Manchester,but i must say,if i was near you guys i would do it with you.
Straight forward infos,no BS.Like that.
Thank you again.Will see how it goes.
If i may.Any good idea for good CPC providers in/around Manchester?
I can see few online,but you are in the business and skills beats everything.
And financially i cant take any risk now.
Thank you
Thanks for the video very good information
Thanks Jass. Glad it helped
Well done that’s so great video n it gave me the confidence I needed coz I’m half way there I got my license back n booked my theory test n hazard perception on the coming week n this video assured me that I’m on the right track really appreciated
We are only here to help you and we are glad we have done that. Thank you
Thanks for taking the time to make the vid. I've got grandfather rights, I was going to go do my CPC first. But now think theory first as despite being an experienced car driver, I have not done any driving theory tests for 25 years.
Thanks for your comments
You cannot fail CPC do maybe get theory test out of the way first
Good luck Mr J!
Top man I like the advise I spoke on the phone to do training. And was given the best advise on how to go on about getting my lorry license
Thanks Jack. Hope the advise proves to be useful.
This is such a useful video. Thanks. I will definitely be in touch soon. This answers so many questions. Glad i have Grandfather rights!
Thank you Henry
Glad it helped
Just don’t us a broker mate!!!

@@EPTrainingServicesLimitedDon't worry, I won't. I'm planning on coming in for a chat on Friday!
Excellent video very helpful . Before watching this I was deadset to do C-E but no after what you said and with some research I’m just doing my C license massive savings, keep up the good videos
Cheers Scott! Class 2 is the way to go first. Please make sure you don’t book with a broker!
Great video , I’ve actually completed my medical , HGV entitlement , MOD 1 , MOD 2 & MOD 4 before seeing this video so for anyone that hasn’t , this video is well worth watching , the procedure is very well explained here, well done !
Morning Tony. Thank you for leaving such a nice comment. Looks like you just have the driving to do. But just dont go with scummy brokers. Find a good company in your area. Good luck with it all.
Sean
Hi. I must admit it can be hard to avoid the broker as they are everywhere online. Brokers are typically the so called nationwide HGV training companies. So anyone mentioning they have national coverage should be avoided as there are NO genuine companies that operate online. Try looking also at the local Google business listing also. Where are you based as we may know a good one in your area.
Thanks for very important information very clear amazing
Thank you very much for leaving a lovely comment
Glad it helped!
Heya , getting there, will have my mod 2 test soon, but I would love to see someone explaining the working time hours permitted and all the hours regulations regarding driving, it can be veeery frustrating to understand all of that. ALL BEST HAPPY NEW YEAH GUYS!
I know Drivers' hours can be a quite daunting at first and there is a lot of misinformation out there.
Brilliant video!
Thank you, you’ve explained this extremely clear. Helped me a lot, thank you
Thank you very much
Pleased we helped

Thank you for your comment
I am looking into hgv training, I literally have no clue in what was what in order to get my licence etc! thanks for clearing it all up and if I wasn't so far up north I would of been booking with you with no issues after your advice!!
Nice one. Glad it helped. Just don’t use a broker
Thank you 🎉❤
Thanks for the comment. Glad it helped
Thanks 🙏 the best advice at the end! I will certainly avoid brokers! I love your passion too
Thanks Lee. Glad the info helped
Just trying to warn good people like yourself against those rip off brokers. Good luck mate
Been undecided between my class 1 and 2, after seeing this video will probably take my class 2 first then see how it goes, great video 👍
Thanks. It's best to go class 2 as it's less expensive than class 1 and less challenging to acquire. Also the money is good for class 2.
@@EPTrainingServicesLimited it's not so much the cost as the navy are putting me through the test it's more about going from driving a car then getting into a class 1 vehicle. It's a big jump and if the money is just as good with class 2 then I'm happy enough with that as due to retire from the armed forces soon and just need something not so stressful
Its good they dont make it too complicated...................l got mine in 1970 because l was driving an artic prior, done UK, Europe, Middle East, never had an accident but got piles and a bad back.
Cheers Chris for your comments. Sorry you got piles. Must be years of sitting on that hard drivers seat. They are much more comfy these days.
What an explanation I’m looking forward to train with you guys
Thank you. Glad it helped and we very much look forwrad to seeing you
Hello Shaun/Shawn, enjoyed the video, very informative, we also run a training school in Preston, would be great to get some advice from you as you seem tuned in and very knowledgeable. Not come across brokers, i have however come across other means of what is deemed 'value for money' contracts/contractors, they are simply looking for the cheapest option and not the quality of training required for a vocational licence. Again it would be great to catch up.
Thanks Robert for your comments. It would be lovely to catch up and have a chat
Very informative and the clearest explanation yet i have seen for all the steps required. I'm just about to do periodic training to activate my 7.5T as the first step on the ladder as I passed my car test in 1986. Actually having second thoughts now about doing CE and might just follow up with C. I have my suspicions about the training provider I have booked my CPC through. Thanks for the heads up as I may use someone else to do my C licence.
Thank you for your comments and glad they helped. Class 2 is a good idea. I agree with you
If you go to my website and check my most recent blog it names all the brokers. Maybe worth checking and if it is just go direct. Thanks Sean
www.eptraining.co.uk/news/article/who-are-the-hgv-training-brokers
If I can help at least one person avoid the brokers then that’s one less person being taken for a ride
I have already found your site and like the fact you have lots of pricing of various combinations of training (something a lot of companies seem shady about). I will check out the blog and as I'm only about an hour away from your training base and may well book further training with you when the time comes.
Brilliant, thanks. I wish I had watched this before I signed up with a broker and went straight for C+E - oh well you live and learn, at least I’ll end up driving in the end…even if I did take the worst route! Thanks again
Hi and thanks for your comments. I am sorry to hear you took a route, which in hindsight you would not have taken. It's not your fault though as you were exploited and taken advantage of by these operators. We need drivers and good people are getting ripped of at the first point of entry. What a great advert for our industry!
It's not right and not fair. . I hope everything goes well and you get you HGV licence soon. Please let us know how it all goes
Thanks, keep up the good work; it’s people like you that represent the industry well.
May of the other are just greedy
I have had to pause to come to the comments and let you know that this is brilliant. You went straight to the subject without rambling. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I will finish the video now. Thank you.
Thanks very much indeed
Very knowledgable I have grandfather rights so I’m doing my cps 35 hr then I’m sending my license off and medical to do rigid
Thanks Mark
Good luck with your licence application
You can drive a 7.5 tonner whilst waiting for your rigid
Good idea!
Pity you're not in the Dorset (Poole/Bournemouth/Christchurch) area. I've looked at 3 training websites in Dorset. Would you please recommend any? I've have just watched your video again, and made lots of notes which is very helpful. My only concern is, sending my driver's license to DVLA with the necessary two forms and not having it with me (when i drive to work) for about 2 weeks. Any advice please?
cheers man i was thinking going straight class 1 but after i pass my normal car ill apply for class 2
Best idea mate
Did not do hazard p as passed before it came in
What a piece of excellent and advantageous information, I really appreciated it. My question is which app is best to prepare for the Theory test, hazards and CPCs? As I have checked the DVLA apps, it was only available as a subscription or pay for the whole year, which was obviously expensive compared to the third-party apps.
We use Driver Theory4all Very good
If I was you I'd buy the dvla official book I found that a lot easier than the computer software. And as for the hazard precision test the software was nothing like the one I was given on my test
@@supersprinter1564 The book is good and for some it's ideal. But it's bulky and doesn't do mock tests. But it's whatever works. The HP is a joke. Just dont click too early!
@Sean Pargeter I passed in December but failed the theory twice using the computer software decided to buy the book and after only a couple of hours I was scoring in the mid 90% after a week doing a couple of hours a night I knew basically every answer and didn't need to do mock tests well I decided not to do mock tests because from my failed attempts I noticed they are nothing like the computer software anyways .and your also right Hazzard perception is a pain as the software I was given to practice wasn't cgi and my actual test was lucky I scored 78 on my first attempt .my reverse test I found easy and also found the practical test easy minus a few nerves at the beginning only got 2 minors on that test found a new job 1 days after passing and my wages went up 12k per year and I do 4 hours a day less work well worth putting the effort in as the rewards are great 👍
Really useful video - Thank you 👍👍
Thanks LA
I passed my
C, C+E and most recently my D with EP. These guys are VERY good, Sean knows his stuff.
Look no further
Thank you for your lovely comments.
Congratulations
Very informative video for me!
I have a question sir?
If I get uk car licence recently. How many year do I have to wait for HGv license?
Thank you
As long as your 18 u don’t have to wait at all
However I would recommend you obtain at least 6 months on road car driving experience
It’s not ideal to go to HGV without much on road experience
just a observation regards the provisional license, i went on the dvla website in october and and confirming my email, i got back literally in 5 mins provisionals for everything above car license,but on reflection i passed in 1989, i have done my medical just now waiting on mod4 and practical training to start,admittdely i am doing this as a bootcamp/DWP but even my jobcentre is getting upset over the time duration 5 months so far, and another month and half to completion :(
Hi Bootcamp is a crock of shit. Too much times wasting and poor training. Typical government. Please check ONLINE to see if you have provisional C and CE.
hello. great video lots of information. well explained. you nail sir.
Am new to the UK doing my master University of south wales. i drive before coming to the UK and i came with my international driver's card which i have been using to drive here but i have passion for truck driving. do you have any offices in Wales? so, i get in touch with the E.P training. thank you
Thank you so much god your kind words. I got we are based in Surrey. A wee bit too far. Big Wheelers in Wales are very good. Good luck 🤞
Brilliant and well put together video and clearing up things.. thank you on the Mod 2 CPC case study, is that done in the theory test centre too?
Hi Stu
Thank you and yes you do the CPC case study at the theory test centre. You can do it the same time as the multiple choice and hazard perception
Good luck 🤞
Great vid thanks...I'm in Harlow Essex, do you cover this area?
Hi mate
Thank you glad it helped

Essex Transport Training in Colchester are brilliant
@@EPTrainingServicesLimited Cheers guys. Quick question, I started out my career building the bodies on lorries and I want to finish it driving them, I'm 52 now so wanted to ask have I left it too late?
Thank you and sorry for the late reply. The average age of the lorry driver is is 55 so you are just a youngster!!!
He broke it down so easy even a baby could understand 😂💯
Thank you
Great video, is there any government funding for getting hgv? Well worth the money I just cant lay my hands on the money needed, thanks
Thanks very much. Government funding is available in the form of Bootcamp. However it's over subscribed and to be honest a complete joke of a system. People end up waiting literally years to get their licence via Bootcamp. When it should only take 3 months. Too many sham companies have the government contracts. Your best bet is to finance this yourself.
I recently passed my fast track C+E course with a driving school in the Midlands. This video is a great breakdown of all the steps with getting your license. I just waiting for my DQC card now. Avoid training brokers two of the guys that I met went through a broker and they regretted it. Overpriced and worthless. All the best to anyone who is looking at training 👍
Thanks mate. Bloody brokers
Got my test today 🤞🏾

Hi Wisdom and thank you for your comments. You just follow the steps above however you will need to exchange your non UK licence for a UK one. You can exchange your licence at the same time you apply for your provisional HGV via DVLA. Other than that it's the same as per my video. Thank you
Done my HGV 1 and 2 license 20 years ago, done my FULL ADR with tanks training with EP, just completed my CBT motorcycle training, this year 2023 wanna do my direct access:)

Easy money :)
I see you're advising people to take their class 2 first. Now you point out that brokers main interest is money but as a HGV training centre, so is yours and with the government changing the rules, you now stand to lose up to half your income if everybody goes for class 1 straight away. I'm waiting for my provisional to arrive and am going for my class 1 (or intended to) but now I have doubts. You say it's a lot more challenging but as far as I can see, it's just reversing that's the challenging bit. Also some training providers are putting the price up of the class 1 to nearly double to compensate. Can you give some solid points as to why I should do my class 2 first? Thank you
Hi and thanks for your comments. Firstly I am not advertising nothing….simply providing free advice based on my experience.
I advise people to go for glass 2 as
1, it’s less expensive than class one
2, it is a less challenging driving test to pass on a cat C that CE. If you know how to reverse a trailer before you start the class one course will help. It’s really not that easy to reverse a 44 tonnes, as well as uncouple and recouple
And then there the one hour on road drive and you have to give a good drive.
I must admit it can look easy but actually doing it really is not that straight forward.
3, the money drivers earn between class one and class two is really not much different
4, the HGV driver shortage is with the cat C more than CE
5, employers are not overtly keen on taking those on that skipped cat C and went straight to CE. It’s all about experience and they still prefer the cat C and then CE route
There are many other reason. I am not saying don’t go straight to CE, that is your choice and whatever you choose I am sure will work for you.
The government changed the rules not down to road safety improving or there are better drivers out there. It was a political choice to tackle the driver shortage.
Brokers are middlemen. They are not needed. You can do all this with a good local training company.
I am not doing myself out of any income
In fact my business is doing very well. I find that if we provide real sensible advise rather than trying to grab all your money then people trust you. In turn they will come back again for other courses and recommend their friends and family.
We have customers that have been with us for over 30 years.
Good luck with your choice
Spot on mate. I've been in this game for over 30 years and doing Class 2 first does not gain you the experience you need for Class 1. It probably pulls you in the wrong direction, and considering that even under the previous EU staged system, you could still go straight to class 1 immediately after passing class 2, then there was absolutely no requirement to gain any experience whatsoever before progressing to class 1. It was nothing more than an EU money spinner for the training industry. If you want to crack the class 1 reverse before starting your training, simply practice with a car and trailer as its no different to reversing a truck and trailer. Check out the old B+E car and trailer reverse test on You Tube and you will see that it was exactly the same as the C+E truck and trailer test. If you can crack the B+E with your own car and trailer, you will have no problem cracking the C+E.
@@xj358 thanks JP for your comments
Spoken like someone who knows his stuff
Good video. I was hoping to know what happens after I pass the 3b. I have done all modules except that one. Do the DVLA automatically send you a new driving license card as well the CPC card?
Thanks Russell
Once you pass the 3b the driving examiner will take your licence from and you will get a new one within 7 days.
Once you pass 3b the CPC card will be sent through automatically to you. You don’t need to do anything.
You should get your CPC card within 7 days of passing the 3b
Hope this helps and thank you again

I'm looking at getting a HGV license. What's the best way for me to find an actual training centre and not a broker? All I seem to find is brokers.
Hi mate, is there any point me applying for the licenses as I have 6 points on my license. What are the kind of costs for the licenses ? Thank you
Wish I had seen this 6 weeks ago.
I wish you had too
I am guessing you maybe went via a middleman
May I ask which broker you signed up with?
Sean
Singapore heavy license class 4 can concert to UK license class 1 possible
Hello I have few questions
I just passed LGV CPC case study
module 3a reversing test, mod3b practical driving and modu4 test demonstration are these exams each on different days?
for example 3a + 3b on the same exam day?
And if I want to take all the exams booked at once on the same day, is it possible?
thanks
Hi
You can do 3a and 3b on the same day
However you must have passed 3a to then take the 3b test
In light of this it may be best to do the 3a one day and then pass 3b on another day.
That way if you fail 3a you will have time to retest (only have to wait one day) .
Module 4 will no doubt be done on a separate day after passing 3a and 3b
Good luck
Your medical for eye test if doctor thinks your vision is not good do they send you to your opticians to get your vision tested and prescription updated then go back for your medical? The dvla don't revoke your car licence just bcas you didn't meet eye test requirement?
Great overview. I'm a software developer and am not planning on switching my career any time soon but I've been playing Euro Truck Simulator 2 over the years (I know, silly), have a couple cousins who are truck drivers and I've always been fascinated by trucks. Have had my B license since 2004 and A license since 2013. Would love to get myself the C+E category just for the experience itself. Who knows what life brings when I get older - maybe I suddenly decide to become a truck driver :)
It sounds like there's shortage of truck drivers out there from what I keep seeing and hearing everywhere. What are the realistic salaries full time truck drivers can earn nowadays? Obviously it varies from company to company but is it 20k, 40k, 60k per year? Just interested to know as an outsider.

The money is good
Class 1 is between 35 and 55k
Class 2 is between 35 and 47k

If you go straight for your class 1 test and pass, does that mean you can drive class 2 vehicles as well?
Yes it does. If you have class 1 then they will also give you class 2 and 7.5 tonners.
I recently became unemployed. I was a Bookkeeper/Accountant.
I thought I could get this training free if I go via Universal Credit (not applied to UC yet) and they put you through Driving Academy.
I've contacted Driving Academy on 30/5/23 and done this 7/8 times since and still not heard anything.
I have no way of contacting them either - anyone have any experience with this?
Either way, if I were to come to EP, how much are we talking roughly to get me ready to apply for jobs?

Easy
Question, I passed car test before 1997 I have recently passed my hazard perception and multi choice and now studying for the Module 2 CPC, after watching this does it mean I dont have to pass the CPC but must do the 35 hours of training if so can I not just do the CPC test instead may be easier then 35 hrs I am a little confused but well explained video.
Hi
No
You need to do the CPC before u can drive and be paid to drive.
You can do modules 2 and 4 technically speaking but it’s a ball ache as u can’t book the CPC case study test online. You have to ring the DVSA etc.
IMHO it’s better and easier to do the 35 hours as there is no exams to pass and you WILL learn more doing the 36 hours rather than modules 2 and 4
Thank you
Yes ok I understand now thank you for the reply I can see the 35 hrs would give me a much better grounding I was all set to book the case studies as I live really close to the centre but might hold off now I think it can be booked here www.gov.uk/book-theory-test but many thanks for information much appreciated
@@manleynet No problem. Glad we helped!
You will earn nothing that you dont aready know if you do Modules 2 and 4. The 35 hours is not much better however I am sure you will learn more
@@seanpargeter25 Thanks Sean I was not even aware I could just do the 35hrs till I see this video my circumstances are different to most as I found out I can get C&E though my existing employer but I possibly would not do this for a living there is a bunch more to this but that's the basics but finding out exactly what is required I must confess takes some research hence if I was wanting this for a living then anymore reading this I would advice to get everything delt with right from the start with a training company such as EP 👍
Provisional licence returned in 2 weeks,,, yeh righto. Maybe a few years ago. 😂
Hi and thanks for your comments. It was bad biting and after Covid
But these days for provisional applications it’s no more than two weeks
can you please tell me the validity of the theory test ?
Not sure what you mean ?
Are you referring to the theory training material? If so we use driverthrory4all
What if you have a pcv license already and want to get your hgv licence I have a cpc card so I still need to apply for a hgv provisional how does it work thanks.
Hi
You have to start over again and do everything in the video. Your driver CPC will be for bus only
Thank you
Have you got any training in Manchester?
No I am sorry we are only in Surrey. Dont use a broker
Can it be done from 7.5 tonne , I’ve already got my provisional entitlement for hgv it took 8 weeks to get my licence back because of my eye test/medication, I meant class 1
Hi Chris
Yes you can do your HGV from 7.5 tonnes
It’s the same process if you did not have 7.5 tonnes
The only difference will be how you complete your driver CPC
You will need to do the 35 hours for CPC and NOT modules 2 and 4
We are based in Surrey do maybe a bit too far
Just don’t go with a broker
Thanks for your reply
Hi mate how does it work if you have a cpc for d1 coach ??
Hi Jay
If you have a CPC for D1 you MUST have passed a D1 or cat D driving test (after 10.9.2008) and completed Modules 2 and 4 in order to obtain your CPC for minibuses, coach and buses. Please advise?
If your current CPC card does not show C1, C1E, C and C then you must have passed your car test after 1.1.1997 and therefore in order to gain your CPC for HGV you MUST complete the Initial CPC (Mods 2 and 4). It's easy.
If you did pass you car test before 1.1.1997 and want to drive a 7.5 tonner (under grandfather rights) you can do the 35 hours periodic CPC.
Bit confusing but hope this helps.
Is there any way to contact u, sir?
The broker scenario happend with me in total I paid £4300 for category C had 3 attempts at test with very little training and never got my licence everyday I wake up feeling like I need to do the test again just to justify the £4300 I've already paid.
Its disgusting the way they take advanatage of you. It should NOT be allowed
Do you have to pay all over again?
I have provisional learning licence. So what will be process for form D4
If you have provisional HGV then no need for a medical or D4 as you would have done that already? I am referring to HGV, not car
Hi E.p I already done my medical and received my provisional licence. The question is at the Hgv Practical test are you required to read a number plate or is it straight onto the tell me show me questions?
Ok thanks
There is no need to read a number plate before the practical test
Thanks is this because you have already done your medical and have been issued provisional licence? How certain are you that you don't need to read number plate before Hgv test ?
@@BABZ786 after 25 years running a HGV training school you can rely on me when it comes to this information. Anyway you have already passed an eye test at the provisional application stage. And that test is harder than reading a number plate.
So I won't be asked to read a number plate at Hgv Practical test? Sorry for asking these questions 😊 just been wanting to be sure
Hi I been told by another driving provider you read a number plate in b part what's b part
It's well worth to get the licence. But be very aware of curropted training companies. That will just take all your hard earn money off you. Make sure you always look at the reviews and go down the centre to do a payment. Rather it just to be on phone 📱 to do a payment 🙏. Believe me I hate it when people get ripped off 😭. I've been fooled in the past but not anymore 😡
Well said and that advice is spot on. There are too many people ripping people off and never more so in the HGV training industry. It's not right and needs to be called out! Thank you for your comments!
Hi I’m taking part soon in a car to class 1 course my question is if I pass the class 2 part then fail my class 1 do I then auto fail everything? Or will I have my class 2
Hi mate
If you pass class 2 then you will have a class 2 licence
I just had a thought. If you are going from car to class 1 why are you doing a class 2 test when it really is not needed. That's doing two tests to get 1 licence when you can do this in one test. Who are you signed up with for your training?
@@seanpargeter25 hi it’s rochdalelgv training
If you go onto their website it explains the steps of car to class 1 I’m open to any advice etc
Passed my class 1-2 4 months ago still got no work and ive applied for over 600 plus jobs nothing so a waste of a few grand.
Sorry to hear that. 600 applications and no job? It can be hard with no expereince but do keep with it. If you keep putting in the eactivity you will get a start. Good luck!
Trying to go straight into a class 1 job probably isn't realistic. Ideally, you want to go to a company that operates with different vehicle types and start on the rigids or 7.5tonners. Prove yourself there and you'll get the opportunity to graduate to the artics.
forgot to say i was on buses and then coaches biggest 51 ft harder to drive than a artic except for reversing of course currently on class 2 now abit of tramping and now over 1400 application's for class1 jobs and nothing been on the class2 for a year now getting to the point i wish i never took my class1 what i should of done is gone with Stobart's driving school passed with them so im tied to them for 2 years but when i went and got my class1 they then didn't want to know even though i was accepted on there in house training live and learn i suppose.@@raithrover1976
