FAQ’s

  • ✅ Yes — you can!

    Since the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) changed the rules in November 2021, drivers can now go straight from a car licence (Category B) to the Category C+E licence (the full articulated lorry licence) without first passing Category C.

    This is often called “direct access” or “fast track” to C+E.

  • The time it takes to gain your HGV (or LGV) licence depends on how quickly you complete each stage — but on average, most drivers can qualify in 6 to 12 weeks from start to finish.

  • Yes — there are plenty of opportunities for new HGV drivers.

    While some companies prefer experienced drivers, the UK logistics industry continues to face a driver shortage, meaning many employers are actively recruiting newly qualified drivers and offering in-house training or mentorship to help them gain experience.

    Once you gain 6–12 months of driving experience, even more opportunities open up — including long-haul, specialist transport, and international work.
