Other Licences

If you’re looking to upgrade your professional driver status, or just want to find out where to start with your HGV driving career, you should be looking at getting your LGV/HGV Cat C licence first. An LGV/HGV Cat C licence is a broad term which covers vehicles over 3500kg and trailers up to 750kg. It is also known as a Class 2 licence, but both refer to exactly the same qualification. HGVs driven under a this licence are sometimes known as rigid body vehicles, and are the types of lorries you usually see transporting goods across the country or Europe.

HGV CAT C LICENCE REQUIREMENTS

  • You must be at least 18 years old and hold a valid car driving licence.
  • There are some additional steps you then need to take in order to start training for Class 2 driver, including getting a provisional licence, take a medical test and the theory exam.
  • To keep your Class 2 licence current, you should also undertake 35 hours Periodic CPC training every 5 years.

WHO SHOULD TRAIN FOR THEIR HGV CAT C LICENCE

Whether you already have your HGV C1 or C1+E licence or are starting your additional training from simply holding a car licence, your LGV/HGV Cat C is the key to unlocking multiple work opportunities. The Cat C / Class 2 HGV Licence qualification gives you the widest possible range of vehicles you can drive, including trucks, bin lorries and more, and the wages are generally higher for holders of this more versatile qualification than for holders of the lower C1 and C1+E licences. You may also like to train for this Licence if you’re headed towards ultimately getting an HGV Cat C+E, the highest of all potential licences.
