I recently completed my Class 1 HGV training with Drive HGV,and the experience was outstanding. The instructors were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely supportive throughout the entire process.
Training was well-structured, the vehicles were in great condition, and I felt fully prepared for both the test and real-world driving. The team went above and beyond to ensure I had the skills and confidence needed to succeed.
Highly recommend Drive HGV to anyone looking to get their Class 1 license—top-quality service from start to finish!

Booked with Drive HGV the C+E course. They moved fast, provided all the details and the materials to study for Teory Test. As soon as I passed the test they provided the dates for my practice and exams. The team was proffesional and had a good way of explaning and guiding througout the training. I would recommend them. Passed every test and exam 1st time.

Since my first contact with Elliot to getting my licence a few days ago Elliot has been a huge help throughout the whole process.
He's given clear instructions on how the process works and has supported me when there have been sticky situations.
Could not recommend another other school than this.

Initially spoke to Elliot who was very helpful, then had a call with Josh. Nothing short of professional, knowledgeable and informative. I am renewing a previous Class1 from many years ago, as I have since changed industries and Josh was able to accommodate me in terms of support and CPC module. Made everything clear and easy to understand. 100% recommend them whichever level one is at. Thank you.

Reply from DRIVE HGV
Great company, guided me right from the beginning to when I passed and obtained my licence, Elliott and Josh have been fantastic and were happy to answer any of my questions when I called. Both supported and gave me encouragement when I failed 1st time round and were both happy when I passed 2nd time, so I express my gratitude with the company in helping me obtain my class 1 licence

I had a fantastic experience with Drive HGV from start to finish. Their team was professional, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping me succeed in becoming an HGV driver. The training was thorough and well-structured, with experienced instructors who made sure I understood every aspect of driving and safety.
The booking process was smooth, and I appreciated how flexible they were with scheduling around my commitments. I also found their customer service team easy to contact and very helpful whenever I had questions.

I reached out to drive HGV as I run a courier company and wanted to expand into the HGV world. I googled HGV training and they were the first to come up. After reviewing their website, I found their site easy to navigate and that they had simplified what seemed to me like a difficult process. I filled out their ‘get a quote’ section and within less than 10 minutes I had a phone call from one of the owners personally, who was so knowledgable and helpful.
After discussing my situation and my goals. We quickly discovered that going for the class 1 C + E was the best option for me and my business goals.
The whole process seemed daunting at first, however after speaking with Mike and Elliot, they broke it down so elegantly and in such a simple form, that I could easily understand.
From there, I followed each step one by one and I can now confirm that I have passed my class 1 C + E and couldn’t be happier.
The team were so helpful through each step and I’m extremely grateful to them for helping me achieve my goal of becoming a HGV driver.
The guys really want to support you and have a genuine interest in who you are, what you’re looking to achieve and how they can help you.
I highly recommend Drive HGV, if you’re debating whether to go for it or not, my advice is to do it, I wish I had done mine sooner. You won’t be disappointed with these guys.

Overall experience wasn’t bad honestly but it could’ve been much better.
Communication was on point including all the details and support from the team. When I decided to join and get the HGV course done back in January I was told that by end of March beginning of April (the latest) everything will be done and I’d have my licence but the things got backlogged to about a month. I can understand it’s not under the agency control. I think that giving realistic time frames to the customers should be no. 1 priority as everyone has to plan things around.
From the actual practice school point of view it went okay I would say, although things could’ve been better organised by them, my training session as per schedule were supposed to begin at 7:00 in the mornings but most of the times from various reasons we didn’t got to leave the yard until about one hour later and that just shortens the practice time. On the second day we had to drive in a van over to a practice/test yard that took about 1h50 minutes, and the yard over there was very although I passed I didn’t manage to get much practice as we’ve kept being interrupted by others trying to use the same space and that only increases stress levels and overall the fairness of the whole system in place. Truth be told we finished later than 12:00 on that day but it wasn’t about us respecting the hours it was just the place being crowded. Just a better time management and organise system would be much helpful.
Support from Drive HGV is exceptional, they’re quick on reply and available for any questions or help you might have or need.
There was a misunderstanding with one of the team members in regards with some theory test and you could clearly see the lack of communication between the team there. Other than this experience with them was okay and I am glad I passed despite everything that was going on.
I recommend using their services as your guide trough everything, they’ll take care of all the steps for you and guide you trough what you need, also offering platforms for your theory tests practice.
