These courses will help you become a qualified heavy goods vehicle (HGV) driver and get the Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC).
If you’ve got a full car licence or medium-sized vehicle licence (category C1), these Skills Bootcamps will help you qualify to drive either:
- a rigid HGV (category C) – these are used for lots of commercial deliveries throughout the UK, some have loading access at the rear and sides as well as electronic tail lifts which makes them easier to load and unload
- an articulated lorry (category C+E) – these have 2 parts (the cab and the trailer the cab is pulling) and are mainly used in long-distance haulage or for the movement of large volumes of items as well as bulky or heavy goods
Check with the course provider to see if they have any extra criteria for applying.
Demand has been extremely high for Skills Bootcamps in HGV driving. Places may be limited for courses in some areas.
