Before you start
Your HGV Class 1 questions, answered.
How much does HGV Class 1 training cost?
The cost depends on your current entitlement, experience and the tuition and tests you need. Request a personalised quotation for Category C+E. Ask for the total price, what is included and any separate charges before agreeing to a booking.
How long will training take?
Your practical training plan depends on your starting point and assessment. Medical, provisional entitlement, theory preparation and test availability can also affect the overall timeline. Tell us what you have already completed and your preferred start date so we can discuss a realistic plan.
Where will I train?
We accept enquiries from learners across Staffordshire and the surrounding area. Our business has a Willenhall office and a Lichfield yard; the practical venue for your particular course is confirmed before booking. A local service-area page does not mean there is a training centre in that town.
What should I have ready before enquiring?
Your current licence category, any provisional HGV entitlement, the tests you have already passed and your town or postcode are a useful starting point. You can still enquire if you are unsure. Do not send licence scans or medical records through the enquiry form.
Is this course suitable if I already hold Class 2?
Category C holders can enquire about progressing to C+E. Tell us about your rigid-vehicle experience and any existing test results so we can discuss the training you need. If you hold a car licence, ask us to review your starting point too.
Does an enquiry reserve a place?
No. An enquiry starts a conversation about suitable training. Availability, the venue, costs and booking terms need to be agreed before a place is confirmed.
