HGV / LGV Training

Overview: All you have to do is give our office a call and we will give you dates and times for your HGV medical. We will help you complete forms D2 and D4, and answer any questions you might have. The medical is pretty basic, and you are fully clothed throughout your appointment. The doctor will complete the D4 form with you, as you complete the medical.

We have the forms you need (D2 and D4) to apply for your provisional licence and to undertake your medical. We will go through everything with you, making sure they are filled in correctly to ensure you get your provisional licence back from DVLA quickly. All we ask is for you to get to us on the evening of the medical 10 minutes before your appointment, allowing us time to iron out any problems with the paperwork. Bring any medication you are taking to show the doctor, glasses if you wear them for driving and come with a full bladder to provide a urine sample for testing sugar levels.

Please call to book a place on 0116 287 7692.

Call now to reserve your place on our 1 day theory test preparation course at our Leicester office. Experience has shown us that students who have attended this course have increased their chances of a first time pass when they sit their theory tests. In addition we will supply you with subscriptions to a website and app to enable you to study independently.

The LGV theory test consists of a hundred questions (85+ to pass), plus a hazard perception test (67%+ to pass) consisting of nineteen video clips, and an initial CPC2 case studies test (40+ to pass out of 50 questions).

It is now possible to go the “Direct Route” to gain your C+E licence by-passing the requirement to acquire your Category C licence first. If this is the route you would like to take, once you have your provisional licence we would invite you for an hours assessment in one of our articulated trucks. This gives you the opportunity to see if this is the course for you and a taste of what training at Data Academy Ltd would be like. An assessment gives us a chance to see what type of learner and driver you are. This enables us to tailor the length of course to your learning requirements.

Your instructor will issue you with a copy of the assessment and also details of activities you can start to practice while driving your car.

Your practical training will usually be 4 hours a day over consecutive weekdays, with your road drive test on the final day of your course. You will be required to pass a reverse exercise test off road before progressing to the road drive test.

We not only train you on Leicester test routes, but challenge you with a variety of roads and situations, giving you a broader repertoire of driving skills in readiness for your test.

Whilst there is no such thing as a “guaranteed pass”, we ensure you will have been given the tools you need to gain your licence. This will be a team work scenario, and YOU will be part of that team.

We will train and test you on the 3a off-road test at our Leicester reverse pad and the DVSA examiner will test you on the 3b on-road test.

After passing your test we are happy to offer help and advice on any aspect of your new career as a professional driver. We are just a phone call away on 0116 287 7692 or pop in for a cuppa and a chat.

When you have that all important interview, we can offer refresher training or intense post-pass reverse courses to help you secure your dream job.
