We train using DVSA test routes and realistic conditions. Many students pass first time, even those who’ve failed elsewhere.
With the UK HGV shortage, qualified drivers are in high demand. We help with job readiness and application support.
We take on complete beginners, career changers and drivers looking to upgrade their licence. Category C, C+E or C1.

At Ford & Lydon HGV Training we have a very high first time pass rate. Many students join us having failed with other schools. If anyone would be unsucessful on test day we would book them back in ASAP to PASS with a small retest fee.
