How many times when you’ve been stuck in traffic on the way home from work have you looked in your rear-view mirror to see a HGV sat behind you? It’s a regular sight up and down A and B roads during rush hour traffic and very few of us pay attention to the HGV sat behind us. However, in those moments just think; the driver of that HGV is getting paid to sit in traffic – possibly one of the reasons why many consider HGV driving as a new career path. If think you could handle a HGV, then here at ATC Transport Training we could set you on the right path through our competitively priced HGV training Birmingham.

Here at ATC Transport Training, our experienced instructors are on hand to provide extensive training throughout Birmingham, Derby and the rest of the Midlands for a range of HGV vehicles. We offer training for Category C Class 2 rigid vehicles, Category C+E Class 1 articulated lorries or back to back Category C, and C+E Class 2 and Class 1 courses.

Each of the courses is specially designed to get you behind the wheel with a suitable HGV licence, equipped with a thorough knowledge of how the vehicle works and how to operate the vehicle correctly and safely; through the help of our experienced HGV instructors.

Taking one of our competitively priced training courses isn’t as simple as turning up and getting behind the wheel of a HGV however. Instead, before we can let you behind the wheel of one of our vehicles you’ll be required to undertake a driver’s medical and theory test – once this has been passed, call us and take the first steps to your new career as a HGV driver.

At ATC Training Transport we care about your HGV career, which is why once you’ve successfully passed your HGV training Birmingham and your HGV test, our dedicated staff will assist you in finding the perfect HGV career which could see you earning £25,000+ per annum – the same average wage as a teacher!

In the current economic climate it has become increasingly difficult to find a job, never mind one that offers the pay you’d like. However, with a Heavy Goods vehicle (HGV) license you can slot into a well-paid job with ease and enjoy job security with the opportunity to advance through to senior roles. Currently, there is a high demand for HGV drivers across the country and the benefits attached to the position are numerous. If you have never considered a career as a HGV driver, then perhaps you should reconsider and book your HGV training London today.

There are a multitude of advantages to becoming a licensed HGV driver; the most encouraging is the pay. A HGV driver can work to receive £600 per week, which is a fantastic advantage to any lifestyle.  The tempting position as a HGV driver steadily gets better when you learn that you receive a good pension, good holiday and not a common feature for most job situations, medical cover.  It’s easy to see why so many people from all walks of life get in touch with Surrey and Hampshire Training to get their licence in a matter of months.

The category C/Class 2/ Rigid HGV training course that we offer enables you to drive a rigid goods vehicle over 3500kgs. The other training course we offer is the Category C+E/Class 1/ Artic HGV. Once you have passed the test this license allows you to drive a goods vehicle over 3500kgs with an additional trailer weighing over 750kgs. To carry out any of our training programs you must be over eighteen years of age, have a full driving license and be medically fit.

All of the training courses provide excellent preparation, with our small team of friendly and encouraging coaches delivering a personalised teaching strategy. We have fantastic facilities to enable the progression of your learning; we have a private reversing area to make your learning a relaxed and comfortable experience. At Surrey and Hampshire training we provide advanced HGV training London to help you progress into a beneficial career.

In the current economic climate, many businesses are having to make cut-backs both with overtime and in some drastic cases, with jobs. Every few weeks we hear on the news about the unemployment figures rising and if you’re one of those that has been unfortunate enough to find themselves looking for a new job, HGV training London could be the ideal solution. This is especially true given that the driving industry is still very healthy, and the hours can be fitted around your family – making it a perfect career.

From the age of 18, as long as you have a full UK driving licence and you are considered medically fit by your GP, there is no reason why you can’t apply for your HGV licence London by taking the rigid HGV course we here at Surrey and Hampshire HGV Training provide.

Our category C rigid HGV training London courses will give those that pass the extensive test the ability to drive any rigid goods vehicles over a laden weight of 3500kgs – meaning that within a matter of weeks you could potentially be transporting valuable cargo for a multitude of High Street stores.

All drivers, however long they’ve been driving will remember the experience of learning to drive. They might have vivid memories of stalling at a busy junction with a queue of traffic building, the moment they first went over 30mph or perhaps a little shunt at the lights. But whatever the memory one thing that most drivers will agree on is that they didn’t enjoy their driving lessons, but do enjoy the freedom it offers them now. With in mind, it’s worth considering HGV training Hampshire, with which you’ll be opening up even more doors and experiences than the day you got your full driving licence.

Learning to drive, whether it is a moped, car or HGV, can be a daunting experience especially if you’ve never sat behind the wheel of a vehicle before. However, having the right instructor and the right atmosphere to learn in can make all the difference as you relax and grow in confidence.

This is something we here at Surrey and Hampshire Training understand, which is why our HGV Driver Training Hampshire is carried out by a team of experienced HGV drivers at our specially adapted driving school, complete with private reversing area, just off the M3.

Our team understand each driver is different, which is why we are more than happy to tailor the HGV training Hampshire we offer to suit your needs and give you the best chance of passing your HGV test at the first attempt.

Depending on how confident you are as a driver, you can opt to enrol on our 6 day course, which is available for either Category C or C+E licences. Alternatively our 12 day combined Category C and C+E course is also popular.

At our lorry driver school, we want everyone that takes our HGV training Hampshire courses to pass with extreme confidence in their driving abilities. For this reason, we also offer a SurePass course, which offers you that extra bit of training and allows you to take a retest two hours after, should you get the dreaded fail first time round.

With jobs not as widely available as they used to be, and competition getting tougher for each post, it’s highly useful to attempt to maximise your CV as much as possible. With so many candidates applying for a single job, an extra qualification will help you to stand out from the rest, giving you an edge above your competitors. Acquiring an HGV licence is an excellent way to expand your career options. No matter whether you’re a first time HGV driver, or a previous HGV veteran in need of a refresher, completing an HGV training Hampshire course will expand your horizons, giving you an edge above your competitors, and propel your working life into new directions.

Our 4/5/6 Day Category C+E training course provides everything you need to acquire your HGV licence Hampshire, pass your test and begin upon your new prospective career path. Our tuition is tailored to suit your needs, so that you can learn in a style which is appealing and effective to you as an individual.
