How To Obtain an HGV Drivers Licence

Apply for the provisional licence entitlement

The first step to gaining a truck licence, the category C licence (Class 2) is to apply for the provisional on your current car licence.

To do this, you must fill out a D2 and D4 form, one is general information and the other is a basic medical which must be completed by a doctor.

Contact the CRH Training office to receive the forms. We can help you complete them. Call 0121 553 3184

Completing the driving theory tests

The next step is to complete the theory and hazard perception tests for the truck licence.

These theory tests are very similar to those taken when learning to drive a car and can be book by visiting directgov.co.uk. Alternatively, contact the CRH Training office to arrange dates for this theory, and gain access to our online study and mock examinations.

Passing the practical driving test

Once you have the provisional entitlement on your licence and have completed both theory tests, you can take the practical training to gain the full licence.

The practical driving standard course usually consists of five days, four of which will be learning how to drive the vehicle, the fifth will be the practical test. We can easily extend the course should you choose. Our aim is for you to pass First Time!

To book your practical driver training and/or examination, contact the CRH office on 0121 553 3184.

Congratulations, once you have successfully gained your Category C licence.
