Our LGV / HGV driver training for all LGV classes requires the following 5 steps are required. (Except Category C+E)
Step 1 - Medical
Next Medical date : Monday 6th Feb 2012
please call to book a place on:- 0116 287 7692
Medicals can be aranged either at our office or a local health centre at a convenient time to suit you. It is a legal requirement for a LGV vocational licence that you pass a medical (very basic). We offer discounted medicals at our Leicester facility every 2 weeks in the evening for your convenience; we also keep all forms required. We recommend that you contact your own Doctor first just to compare prices.
Having passed your medical you can now send for your provisional LGV licence.

Step 2 - LGV / HGV Theory Training Course and Test
Next theory dates : Tues 7th and Wed 8th Feb 2012
please call to book a place on our 2 day course:- 0116 287 7692
The LGV theory test consists of a hundred questions plus a hazard perception test consisting of nineteen video clips. The 100 question theory test is computer based with multi choice answers. You have 115 minutes to complete this. The hazard perception test consists of 19 clips containing 20 scoreable hazards, and lasts 25 minutes.
From Sept 10th 2009 new drivers will also have to complete a case study (CPC part 2) A situation or scenario will be set and the candidate will be given questions relating to this situation.Wherever possible the case studies will involve pictures, graphics and diagrams. Candidates will be given 75 minutes to complete this part of the test.
We offer a LGV / HGV theory and hazard perception training days at our Leicester office, which with a 98.9% first time pass rate has proved invaluable to those completing the course (see customer feed back). If you need any more practice before the test we are quite happy for you to come back to us at NO EXTRA charge because we want you to pass first time. Included as part of this package is booking and confirming your test with the DSA. So all you have to do is turn up on the day and pass. Alternatively you can purchase the LGV theory book and hazard perception DVD from the DSA and go it alone.

“ I have taken LGV theory training before (with another provider) and at the end of the day felt very confused. Here I felt relaxed and confident" S.J
All of these passed their theory test 1st time and the comments made (and many more) are on record for viewing.
Step 3 - LGV Driving Assessment
When you receive your LGV licence back or have completed your LGV theory test, the next stage is a driving assessment.
The assessment is a short course and is approximately sixty minutes of practical LGV driving and instruction in the vehicle that you will be in when training.
This assessment makes it possible for us to very accurately assess the amount of time you will require for your training course, in order for you to pass your test first time.
This allows us to maintain our very high percentage of first time pass rates. The instructor will issue you with a copy of the assessment and also detail activities you need to practice while driving your car to reduce your training days. (thus saving you money) .

Step 5 - Practical Test
Whilst there is no such thing as a “guaranteed pass”, we will guarantee you will be trained to and indeed above a DSA test standard with the driving confidence in your own ability to pass.
The LGV test consists of a reversing manoeuvre and approximately a one hour drive on the road.
We normally train around the Leicester area covering the routes that you will be taken on during your test however, we are happy to use the test centre which is most convenient to you.
After passing your test we are happy to offer help and advice about anything you are not sure about. We are just a phone call away or call in for a cuppa and a chat. We can also help you to find work as we have many companies who contact us when they are recruiting new HGV/LGV drivers.
