The Process of Getting a HGV Class 2 (Cat C) Licence
Step 1: Medical Examination
A medical examination is required to ensure you are fit to drive an HGV. This is typically done when you apply for your provisional licence and must be repeated every five years once you turn 45, and annually after you turn 65.
Step 2: Obtain a Provisional HGV Licence
The first step towards your HGV Class 2 (Cat C) licence is to apply for a provisional HGV licence. You must already hold a full car driving licence. You’ll need to complete the D2 application form and the D4 medical form, which must be filled out by a doctor to confirm you are medically fit to drive an HGV.
Step 3: Pass the HGV Theory Test
The theory test consists of two parts: a multiple-choice test and a hazard perception test. You must pass both parts to proceed to the practical training.
Step 4: Begin Your Training
Enroll in our Class 2 HGV (Cat C) training course. Our expert instructors will provide you with a comprehensive training program that includes both theoretical and practical instruction. You will learn essential skills such as vehicle safety checks, driving techniques, manoeuvring, and road safety.
Step 5: Pass the Driver CPC Qualification
Before you can start driving professionally, you need to obtain the Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC). This involves passing four modules:
- Case Studies: Testing your knowledge on real-life scenarios that a driver might face.
- Practical Demonstration: Testing your ability to handle specific scenarios such as vehicle safety and loading.
Step 6: Complete the Practical Training
Our practical training will prepare you for the DVSA driving test. You will practice driving a rigid lorry, learning how to handle various road and traffic conditions. Our training includes the use of modern vehicles equipped with the latest technology.
Step 7: Take the DVSA Practical Test
The final step is to pass the DVSA practical test. This includes a reversing exercise and a road driving session where you will be assessed on your driving skills, awareness, and safety.
Step 8: Obtain Your HGV Class 2 (Cat C) Licence
Once you have successfully completed all the above steps and passed the DVSA practical test, you will be awarded your HGV Class 2 (Cat C) licence. This licence allows you to drive rigid vehicles up to 32 tonnes, opening up numerous career opportunities in the logistics and transport industries.
