HGV Training Course Structure

Our HGV Driver Training in Wetherby is structured around the four-part examination process, helping you build a solid foundation to pass with confidence. Before beginning this stage, candidates must complete their 3a test. Once ready for the 3b, you’ll be guided through a robust curriculum that includes:

  • Vehicle safety questions to ensure you understand essential vehicle functions and safety protocols.
  • 1-hour practical road driving session covering all critical driving skills and techniques.

The practical road driving component, in particular, is comprehensive. You’ll demonstrate your ability to:

  • Use the vehicle controls smoothly and effectively.
  • Move away from different positions, including at an angle, uphill, and downhill.
  • Execute a controlled stop safely.
  • Make full use of mirrors, give appropriate signals, and manage your vehicle speed.
  • Show awareness of other road users and safely handle any hazards.
  • Select appropriate stopping points.

In addition to these practical skills, the test includes a 10-minute independent driving section, where you’ll have the opportunity to demonstrate your ability to navigate independently, making safe driving decisions without prompts from your instructor. This portion is designed to assess your awareness and adaptability in real-time driving scenarios.

Supporting Your Success Every Step of the Way

At MT Training Services in Wetherby, our instructors understand the nuances of HGV driving, bringing years of experience and a dedication to quality training. Even if you make a minor mistake, you can continue with your test unless the examiner deems it unsafe. We’re committed to providing a supportive, pressure-free learning environment, enabling you to build confidence and resilience.
