BEFORE PRACTICAL TESTING

Prepare for your HGV theory test with online revision tools and support from your training adviser. Partington learners can study before their practical training begins. Theory tests take place at dedicated theory test centres.
The HGV part 3a test covers off-road exercises: an S-shaped reverse into a bay and, for tests with a trailer, uncoupling and recoupling. Practical preparation focuses on controlled manoeuvring and the procedures for your vehicle category.
The HGV part 3b test includes vehicle safety questions and an hour of practical road driving, including ten minutes of independent driving. The examiner assesses safe control, observation and anticipation. You must pass part 3a before taking part 3b.
Partington sits beside the Manchester Ship Canal, with Irlam and Cadishead on the other side. Places that look close on a map can require a longer road journey. Plan an HGV-appropriate route and check current restrictions instead of assuming the nearest crossing suits the vehicle.
