your questions

Tell us where you’re starting from. We’ll help you work out the next step.

How do I find HGV training near me in Cannock?

We provide Class 1 and Class 2 HGV training for learners across Cannock and the surrounding area. Use the coverage guide above or call our Cannock branch on 0333 335 5927. Tell us your postcode and current licence so we can guide you to the right course.

Do I need Class 2 before Class 1?

You can train towards Class 1 (C+E) from a car licence without first passing a separate Class 2 test, provided you meet the relevant provisional entitlement and qualification requirements. We also support drivers upgrading from Class 2. Your adviser will explain the preparation and tests for your route.

Are HGV and LGV training the same thing?

In lorry training, HGV means heavy goods vehicle and LGV means large goods vehicle. Our LGV training in Cannock covers the lorry licence categories on this page. Class 1 means Category C+E; Class 2 means Category C.

Where do my Cannock HGV driving lessons start?

Lesson meeting points vary. Your course adviser provides the meeting arrangements when booking, so you have the details you need before your Cannock HGV training begins.
