your questions

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

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.

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 Scunthorpe covers the lorry licence categories on this page. Class 1 means Category C+E; Class 2 means Category C.
