Train with the best

I had a fantastic experience with British HGV for my HGV training. The instructors were professional, patient, and really knew how to build my confidence behind the wheel. The course was well-structured, with clear guidance at every stage, from theory to practical. Communication was excellent, and they made the whole process stress-free. I passed first time thanks to their support — highly recommend to anyone looking to get their HGV licence!

I have had the pleasure of passing my practical first time with this company.
I was extremely happy and grateful of the help of my instructor named Len, who was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, kind and reassuring! Without his help I would have not passed first time and I felt honoured to of had him on the journeys with me.

I would also like to mention that the staff are really polite and professional especially the lady at reception named Lorraine, she was onboard with me on the journey of my practical and always made sure I had everything I needed! Not to forget to mention she was also a delight to get on with and never failed to make me laugh!

Thank you all so much!!!

Best Driving School

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Outstanding Experience at British HGV Driving School!

I had an absolutely fantastic experience with British HGV Driving School, and I cannot recommend them highly enough – especially Carl and Lorraine, who were both incredible throughout the entire process.

From day one, Lorraine was friendly, knowledgeable, and always on hand to answer questions or guide me through the paperwork and booking process. She made everything feel smooth and stress-free, which is a massive help when you’re taking such a big step in your career.

As for Carl – what a brilliant instructor. His teaching style is clear, patient, and confidence-boosting. He knows how to explain things in a way that makes sense, even when you're feeling nervous or overwhelmed. Carl genuinely cares about his students’ success and takes the time to make sure you’re fully prepared before test day. Thanks to his expert guidance, I passed first time!

If you're thinking about starting your HGV journey, don’t hesitate – go with British HGV Driving School. With Carl and Lorraine supporting you, you’ll be in the best possible hands.

They good at squeeze your money

Just be careful! They will always say "you are not ready" to squeeze your money. They just simply don't teach you anything and ask you to drive, then those coaches will make you look stupid by shouting at you, keep criticising you while you are driving. Let you believe that you are not ready, then pay more to learn. Sometimes they play good guy bad guy game, if you are not mature enough, you will fall in their trap. If your budget is limited, avoid this company.

Best training

Recently took and passed my test with British Hgv. I cannot recommend this company more highly. Carl was my instructor and from the second I walked in he put me at ease. He has a brilliant training style, he took time to show and explain every aspect, showed patience when required and is truly an inspiration to the company.

Bus/ Coach Licence Training

I was recommended to British HGV and was confident from the first contact with Lorraine that things would be good.
I took my bus training with Len. He was easy to understand and clearly very experienced. Enjoyed every bit of my week despite a first day hiccup when the training vehicle suffered a mechanical failure before I’d even started 😃. Not a problem, such things happen. So for me, an extra bit of time on Tuesday Wednesday & Thursday and passed Friday morning as scheduled.
I also did my CPC 4 during the week with them.
All good and very enjoyable.
Cheers

British HGV Training… The best out there.

I cannot recommend British HGV Training enough for anyone looking to obtain their HGV license.

After a challenging experience with a previous training company that unfortunately went into administration, I reached out to British HGV Training and explained my situation. From the very beginning, they were more than happy to accommodate me, and I truly wish I had chosen them from the start.

From start to finish, my experience with British HGV Training has been absolutely fantastic. Today, I passed my car to artic test on the first attempt! I want to specifically thank Lorraine for her guidance throughout the process; she was extremely helpful in outlining the next steps I needed to take.

Paul who conducted my driving assessment brilliantly, and Wayne, my driving instructor, was an absolute legend. His extensive experience and knowledge about the roads and HGVs is unparalleled. He made the learning process enjoyable and ensured I felt at ease during our lessons. I’m truly going to miss driving with you Wayne.

I cannot emphasize enough how incredible these guys are. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed with the service they provide. A MASSIVE thank you once again to British HGV Training for their 5-star service.

The best around!

Can't recommend British HGV training enough!
From Lorraine helping to organise the initial paperwork and supporting all the way through, to the team of excellent instructors, they all made my week training towards & gaining my class 2 licence a very fun & informative experience.
Special shout out to my instructor Carl. A wealth of knowledge with a friendly approach. He was always happy to answer any questions and correct any mistakes I made, he knew exactly what was needed. Top bloke.
Thank you to the whole team, I'll be back for my class 1 for sure!

Best driver training I have received by…

Best driver training I have received by far. Started off with an agency with another local school that didn't have the standards for the training to get me through my tests.

I decided to join BRITISH HGV and it was the best step for me to take to kickstart my new career. I only wished I was with them from the start.

All the instructors and staff are here to help you every step of the way and will teach you the methods to successfully pass your tests.

Passed successfully using the techniques and methods my instructor taught me. You’ve just got to listen and act on what you’ve been taught.

It was a pleasure training with this school and I would recommend anyone looking to start their career in HGV/ PCV to go through this school.

I can't thank this company enough for supporting me in my HGV training, from only really driving a car to passing my test for HGV C+E on my second attempt they were amazing. My instructor and all the other other staff could not have been any more supportive if they tried. I would strongly recommend this training company if you are looking for a professional and experienced people to ensure you pass!!!
