Car to HGV Class 1 Training Course

Ready to make the leap from car driving to a rewarding career as an HGV driver? Our Car to HGV Class 1 training course is the fastest and most effective way to get you behind the wheel of an articulated lorry (Category CE) — even if you’re starting with just a car licence.
