HGV Training
Low Cost - High Pass Rate - LGV Driving Courses
Practical training is important, of course, but it's only the beginning of what you'll receive when enrolling with us. You also get HGV theory training and testing, your medical and CPC training, and our tailored packages can give you as little or as much as you need to turn your HGV driving dreams into reality.
If you're a Dunediner who's got their sights on earning a braw wage as a professional lorry driver, the company you choose for your training matters…a lot! You need a training provider with a top reputation for getting students passed, and at HGVT, we offer the very best HGV training in Edinburgh. What's more, when you take an HGV course with us, you get the full 360-degree experience, with practical training and testing, CPC training, medical, and HGV theory testing and training, all included.
Our all-inclusive training doesn't stop there, either. We even support you in connecting you with local employers interested in your newly acquired driving skills. The longstanding, exclusive partnership we have with Manpower makes this possible - something you can learn more about in your HGVT pass pack after you complete your training.
Another perk of being an HGVT driving student is access to the HGVT app for HGV theory. This groundbreaking app offers a range of useful functions, such as tracking your progress, speaking directly with our team, booking training modules, reviewing CPC case studies, and even receiving appointment reminders. It's the perfect training companion!
The great news is that a full UK licence is all that's needed to start your class 2 HGV training. After you've passed your course, you could be earning up to £24,000 a year, a figure that can go up with experience. If you take things a step further and achieve your class 1 licence, your wage could go as high as £31,000. If you're a resident of Stockbridge, Leith, Morningside, Portobello, Bruntsfield or anywhere else in the Edinburgh area, and you like the sound of earning a fine wage as a professional lorry driver, we'd be delighted to hear from you. Calling our team today could be the best thing you do for your career all year!
Depending on your requirements, training for your HGV licence will usually cost between £1,999 and £4,999. This will typically include pass protection (if selected), your medical, a 4-day practical training course, CPC training, theory practice, and assistance in finding work through Manpower.
It will take you between 6 and 20 weeks to fully complete your HGV training. However, the practical element only takes between 4-7 days, meaning that this is the maximum amount of time you'll need to take away from your current job.
UK law states that you must be at least 18 years old and possess a Cat D licence.

The city of Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland, the second largest city in that country, and one of the UK’s major economic hubs. In fact, Edinburgh has the second strongest local economy in the UK, behind only London. At the centre of the city’s economic activity is a booming financial services sector that continues to bring more wealth into the region every single year. Edinburgh is also strong in tourism, life sciences, technology, and higher education.
A metro-wide population in excess of 1.3 million means there is a lot of economic activity going on in and around Edinburgh. All of that activity requires a robust logistics sector to make it work. Every day thousands of lorries traverse local roads, bringing consumer goods and supplies into the city while taking away products for export. Likewise, local bus and coach companies ferry thousands of passengers in, out and around Edinburgh at all hours of the day and night. What does this mean to you? It means the opportunity to get a job as a professional driver after undergoing HGV training in Edinburgh.
It is no secret that the haulage and transport industries are now desperately short of drivers. Shortages are most severe in major cities like Edinburgh, where demand for reliable transport outstrips supply. The shortage is so severe that companies are aggressively competing with one another to recruit, train, and retain the best drivers in the business. Suffice to say, they will compete for your attentions should you decide to obtain a commercial driving licence.
Our company name reflects the fact that the majority of students going through our training programmes are doing so to obtain HGV licences. However, we are not limited to a single licence training programme. We offer training for commercial driving licences of all classifications. The four most common licences we train for are as follows:
We also train for Category C1 and C1+E licences as well. Do not be afraid to ask about them if your needs don’t place you in one of the other training courses. We have all the necessary information to ensure you take the right training course to earn the right kind of licence.
Why do people undergo formal training to become professional drivers? There are two reasons. First, regulations require new professional drivers to undergo a minimum amount of CPC training in order to earn their qualification cards. CPC training is required at least once every five years during a professional driver’s career. This training would be the absolute minimum necessary to get a commercial driving licence.
The second purpose of training is to prepare yourself to take the four exams required to get your licence. You do not technically need training for this purpose, but it is almost impossible to pass your tests without it. Taking the four tests without training would be like attempting to get a physician’s licence without going to medical school. It is nearly impossible to do.
Our training is specifically designed to ensure your testing endeavours are successful. Simply put, we want you to pass each one on the first try. We have no intention of training you in such a way as to increase your chances of failing and having to repeat. Our philosophy is ‘one and done’.
To that end, our training is focused and concentrated. We sometimes describe our training methodology as fast-paced and intense due to the way we present information. For example, our HGV training in Edinburgh does not include a lecture series that requires you to sit in a large classroom listening to instructors drone on hour after hour. It does not belabour you with an overwhelming amount of information that you are expected to put together over months of training.
What you will find as an HGV Training Centre student is a training approach that involves presenting information in short, concentrated bursts. Each information burst is followed by the next in quick succession, allowing you to connect the dots between concepts. We have found this is an excellent way to boost both factual learning and overall comprehension. And when students learn and comprehend, they approach their exams with a tremendous amount of confidence.
Our training covers a long list of topics in three primary categories:
The HGV Training Centre did not become the nation’s leading provider of professional driver training by accident. We become the industry leader by training our students in a way that ensures their long-term success as professionals. In that sense, you could say that our training creates opportunities by producing drivers who are ready to succeed as soon as they have their licences in hand.
When potential employers see our name listed as your HGV training provider, they will know you have been trained according to the highest standards of professionalism. They will know you are prepared to be a productive employee more than capable of getting the job done. That knowledge will put you near the top of the list of candidates for just about any job.
Our HGV training in Edinburgh will not guarantee you a job straightaway, but it will open up plenty of doors of opportunity. We enhance those opportunities through job placement assistance that we offer every student that completes their training with us. We will do our best to help you get a job as soon as you have your licence.
Have we piqued your interest in HGV training in Edinburgh? We hope so. Professional driving is an excellent career choice for people of all ages. If you are the kind of person who likes to be out and about rather than confined to an office all day, professional driving could be just what you are looking for.
Embarking on a professional driving career starts by getting trained. The sooner you complete your training, the sooner you can get your licence and get to work. Train with us and you could be applying for jobs in less than a few months. We will come alongside and guide you through the training and licencing process every step of the way. Our goal is to successfully train as many new drivers as we possibly can, and we work very hard to achieve this objective. Why not put us to the test?
