HGV & LGV Training Courses
HGV/LGV drivers are widely used throughout many industries. It is a very sought after career which pays well and has excellent employment benefits. However, anyone aiming to work within this role must first receive the appropriate level of training.
At TL Training we offer a number of HGV/LGV training courses in North Wales for businesses and individuals. Our team of highly experienced and friendly trainers will offer full support throughout your training and pass on their many years of knowledge and guidance to you.
As you may know, UK driving licenses are divided into a number of different categories based on the weight and size of the vehicle. A standard full driving license is called a category B license. HGV/LGV training will enable you to gain a licence to drive vehicles of other categories.

Once you have passed your category C your license can be upgraded with the C + E provisional entitlement allowing you to drive a C + E if you wish.
