The HGV Training curriculum is a comprehensive program that equips learners with the fundamental skills necessary for a career in the heavy goods vehicle industry. The course starts with an introduction to the LGV (large goods vehicle), where students will become familiar with the vehicle types and their characteristics. This foundational knowledge sets the stage for understanding the different vehicles used in the transport and logistics sector. Learners will explore key concepts related to vehicle limits, ensuring they understand legal restrictions regarding weight and size, and how to operate within these limits for safe driving.

The course emphasizes the importance of proper load management and load restraint, teaching students how to secure loads effectively to prevent accidents and ensure safe transportation. A critical part of the program also covers drivers' hours and record-keeping, ensuring students understand the regulations governing rest periods and driving times, which are essential for maintaining safety on the roads.

Students will learn about the relationship between vehicles and driving techniques, including the operational aspects of driving an HGV and the best practices for navigating various road conditions. Health and conduct are another essential aspect of the training, where learners will gain insights into maintaining physical health and adhering to professional conduct standards, which are critical for a successful and long-term career in HGV driving.

As part of the course, learners will cover the process of obtaining a qualified LGV driver’s license and learn about the provisional LGV license requirements. The course also prepares students for the Driver CPC (Certificate of Professional Competence) tests, which are a mandatory qualification for professional drivers in the UK. The final part of the course addresses what to do after obtaining qualifications, providing guidance on career development and opportunities within the logistics and transport industries.
