What is the heavy goods vehicle (HGV) training course?
HGV training is designed for learners to understand the basic concepts of commercial driving. Even if you are already driving a car and consider yourself a seasoned driver, being behind the wheel of an HGV vehicle is a whole different experience, and as a result, requires adequate training and skills when operating such a larger vehicle.
We make getting Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) training a simple, stress-free process ✅
HGV training offers a varied mix of practical and theory scenarios and covers essentinal road safety guidelines while giving you the opportunity of getting to grips with the physics behind operating vehicles of larger sizes and weights.
From learning how to make turns properly, from reversing trucks and trailers, understanding the physical skills necessary to do the job is vital in becoming a safe and efficient HGV vehicle driver.
What HGV licence will I need?
There are a few basic things about commercial driving licences that applicants should know before they enroll on HGV training.
First is the difference between the HGV and LGV designations.
✅ HGV is an acronym that stands for 'heavy goods vehicle'.
✅ LGV is an acronym that stands for ‘large goods vehicle’.
Practically speaking, there is no difference between what these two anacronyms refer to. HGV is the British acronym, LGV is the European acronym.
What are the different licence categories?
The next thing to know about commercial licences is the fact that there are different licence categories.

The package is designed for success
“The package is designed for success. In my door supervisor course and CCTV Operator course, I met an amazing set of instructors who use field and class experiences to build your courage and bring you excellent performance”
Abrar Ahmed
Highly recommended
“Highly recommended. I did the DS and CCTV courses within two weeks of each other. Both the tutors were engaging and very experienced and knowledgeable in their field. Despite both courses being relatively short, I feel they pack in a lot of material. There are also lots of practical activities that help prepare you for front line security work. Once again, I high recommend training with Get Licensed!”

Quality driven.
“Ben Mccarthy is an efficient, quality driven, and hardworking lead trainer for the door supervision course. He made the topics easy to understand and digest. I appreciate his patience and attention to detail when teaching the course.”
I have been working in security for 30…
“I have been working in security for 30 years starting with 10 years as a full time door supervisor and then 20 years in house NHS security officer in a busy city centre hospital with a war zone called A&E Since leaving I needed to get my SIA . This course is really good and it’s far from an attend course you need to apply yourself and it will give you the grounding to be a first class operative to start a career and progress in security. Great trainer in Dave Watts a first class instructor and man. This course is first class and Get Licensed make booking, learning a great experience”
Sirtaj Rehman
A Great Experience & Course
“Had a great experience with my Door Supervisors course. Excellent communication from start to finish. The instructor Simon Willoughby was awesome too. Very knowledgeable, engaging, and humorous. He got us through the very long days and made them feel not so long. A great guy and a great course”
Get Licensed is the best
“Get Licensed is indeed, the best place to take your security training. I just completed my Door Supervisor Training with them and was trained by Rob Worthington. Rob is the best trainer I have ever seen. You know why, its because he really trains from experience. He treated everyone fairly and makes the training very interesting, practical and experiential. I sincerely entreat everyone that seeks to take any security training course to do that with Get Licensed. You would enjoy it and learn a lot.”

“I enjoyed my course so well and my supervisor was a great teacher and person. He teaches so well his explanation is so clear. Am shouting out to Simon Albutt.”
Clear and Concise
“The trainer Amy was really patient, helpful and informative. All lessons were delivered with clarity along with a very professional attitude. Sering was also excellent. He conveyed information in a friendly helpful manner and made the class feel at ease. Good staff are hard to find and both are assets to the Industry.”
Have a question? We have answers
From the time you complete your HGV Training Course, to apply to the DVLA & DVSA and receive your licence it will take around 13 weeks from start to finish for car drivers to be ready to work as a paid HGV/ LGV driver.
The law requires anyone wanting to be a professional HGV Driver to have a full car licence, be over the age of 18, and get a driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC).
A licensed HGV Driver can look to earn anywhere between £26,000 to £31,000 depending on experience, location and the company in which they drive for.
HGV Drivers are responsible for the safe and accurate delivery of products to and from locations across the UK. While many HGV Drivers work alone as they deliver goods while driving in their vehicle, they will also be expected to have the ability to work as part of a team – with communication between drivers and logistics management and depots an essential part of the role.
HGV Drivers will also be expected to maintain daily vehicle checks and ensure that any service requirements are reported.
None. They both refer to commercial vehicles over 3.5 tonnes.
