HGV Training in Cambridgeshire

COURSE IN Cambridgeshire

Cambridgeshire is probably most noted around the world for its excellent educational opportunities. Between the University of Cambridge, the College of West Anglia, and dozens of additional primary, secondary and tertiary schools, education is a high priority in this region of England. Nonetheless, the local economies of the county’s towns and cities rely heavily on a solid logistics sector capable of transporting everything from food to consumer goods. This is one of the reasons we offer HGV training in Cambridgeshire.

There is little doubt of the influence the logistics industry has on the overall economy. HGVs are responsible for transporting between 70% and 80% of all the goods moved across the country while PCVs provide valuable transport services for passengers in local municipalities as well as those looking to go on longer journeys cross-country or overseas. Without the dedication of both HGV and PCVs drivers, our economy would not be nearly as strong as it is.

Perhaps you are visiting our website today because you know the country is in the midst of a severe driver shortage. You might be thinking of undergoing training in order to get your Category C or D licence. If so, you have come to the right place. The HGV Training Centre is one of the most reputable training companies in the UK. We also happen to be the largest.

Why You Should Train with Us

There is no denying that you have a lot of options when it comes to driver training. There are companies of all sizes and scopes to choose from, some offering the very same kinds of training we provide and others focusing on specialist training programmes. But we believe your best bet is the HGV Training Centre. There are quite a few reasons we make this claim.

First of all, consider our professional affiliations. The HGV Training Centre is a proud member of the Freight Transport Association (FTA), one of the most influential trade groups in the industry, and certainly one of the loudest voices in advocating for both haulage and transport. When the FTA speaks, people listen.

The HGV Training Centre is also a member of The Logistics Guild, a national organisation made up of operators and drivers dedicated to providing the best service possible. And, of course, we are JAUPT approved as a provider of ongoing Driver CPC training. You can find the approval seal and our licence number at the bottom of any page on our website.

Above and beyond our professional affiliations, consider the following additional reasons to train with us:

• Pass Rates – One of the primary reasons for undergoing professional training is to obtain the skills and knowledge you need to pass the necessary Driver CPC tests. There are four of them, by the way. Our students pass their tests the first time at a rate of 90% or better. That is well above the national average.
• Convenience – The HGV Training Centre operates more than four dozen training facilities located throughout the UK. That makes our training convenient, regardless of where you currently live or work. You will not have to be away from home for months just to train with us; you can commute to and from your training every day.
• Training Time – If you were to go to university, you would spend anywhere from two to four years getting a degree that would enable you to find a job. Our HGV training in Cambridgeshire can be completed in just a few weeks for most drivers. That’s quite a difference. While your friends are still going to school, you could be working and earning a decent living.
• Financing – Coming up with the money to enrol in a training programme can be challenging. And unlike university, the government provides no support for future drivers. But we do. We offer an affordable financing option on each and every one of our training programmes. You can finance your training now and pay for it later.

The HGV Training Centre did not become the most reputable training organisation in the industry by accident. Since our company was established, we have followed a very purposeful plan designed to create a comprehensive training programme that delivers results. We enhance that programme with a dedicated staff of instructors and support specialists who are fully committed to the success of every student.

What to Expect from Training

Contacting us to enrol in our HGV training in Cambridgeshire is just the start. From there we will help you through the training and licencing process that includes the following:

• A routine medical exam
• Theory test preparation
• Taking and passing the theory test
• Classroom and hands-on training
• Taking and passing the remaining tests.

The process of completing training and obtaining a commercial driving licence can be overwhelming at times. We know this, which is why we put so much effort into helping our students through individualised support. For example, it is easy to be so consumed with theory test preparation that one forgets to complete and submit the application for a provisional entitlement. Our support staff keep tabs on students to make sure the paperwork is completed. After all, the new driver cannot begin practical skills training without the provisional entitlement in hand.

Another example of our individualised support comes by way of our dedicated instructors. These fine men and women have been trained to identify signs that a particular student might be struggling. In such a case, the instructor will work with that student on an individual basis to overcome whatever problems he or she is having. In so doing, we make sure none of our students left behind.

When you train with us, you can expect the following:

• A Fast Pace – We see no need to overstress your training by burdening you with unnecessary information or courses. Instead, expect fast-paced training that teaches you what you need to know by building one concept upon another in quick succession.
• Thorough Training – Despite our fast pace, we do not cut corners in terms of what we teach our students. You can expect your training to be as thorough as necessary to ensure you pass your tests and go on to be a successful commercial driver.
• Plenty of Encouragement – We know how challenging it can be to learn everything you need to know while also overcoming your fear of test-taking. So we provide plenty of encouragement along the way. You will quickly understand that your instructors and support staff are behind you 100%.
• Improved Confidence – You can expect to gain confidence as you progress through your training programme. With every concept you master, you will have more confidence to approach the next concept. By the time you finish your training, you will be more than ready to pass your tests convincingly.

Our HGV training in Cambridgeshire exists for one reason and one reason only: to get as many new drivers into the industry as we possibly can, in the shortest amount of time. We do this because haulage and transport companies are in desperate need of tens of thousands of new drivers. That need will only get worse in the future. With the economy expanding and the industry facing a new wave of retirements, there could be hundreds of thousands of job openings before the end of the decade.

Do you have what it takes to become a professional HGV or PCV driver? There’s only one way to find out: contact us and get more information about our training programmes. We spell out all the details so that you know exactly what you are getting into before you make the decision to do so. And, of course, we are happy to answer any questions you might have.

HGV training in Cambridgeshire can prepare you for a long and satisfying career as a professional driver. The HGV Training Centre can help you make that dream a reality. Yes, there are other companies that do what we do. But none of them does it as well and as successfully as we do. Call us and put us to the test.
