How To Obtain an HGV Drivers Licence

Apply for the provisional licence entitlement

The first step to gaining any truck licence is to apply for the provisional entitlement on your current car licence.

To do this, you must fill out a D2 and D4 form and send them to the DVLA with your current driving licence. One of the forms is a general information form and the other is a basic medical which must be completed by a doctor.

Once both forms are complete, you should sent the forms to the DVLA with your current licence, the address is on the back of the forms. 

Contact the CRH Training office for any questions or issues regarding 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 booked by clicking this link: www.gov.uk/book-theory-test. 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 price for this course and the length of training will change depending on whether you wish to obtain the Category C (Class 2) licence, or the Category C+E (Class 1) licence. Further information on each course can be found on this page.
