How to Get Your HGV Licence in Taunton
Becoming a professional HGV driver requires passing several key tests. At MT Training Taunton, we provide comprehensive training to help you navigate the process with confidence.
Steps to Earning Your HGV Licence:
1️⃣ Apply for a Provisional HGV Licence – Complete a DVLA medical exam and submit your D2/D4 forms to get your provisional licence.
2️⃣ Pass the HGV Theory Test – This includes a multiple-choice exam and a hazard perception test.
3️⃣ Complete the 3A Off-Road Manoeuvring Test – This test evaluates your reversing skills, spatial awareness, and vehicle control—which Blessing passed with flying colours!
4️⃣ Pass the 3B On-Road Driving Test – A full driving assessment covering urban, rural, and motorway routes.
5️⃣ Obtain Your Driver CPC Qualification – If driving professionally, you’ll need to complete the Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC).
With MT Training, you’ll receive structured, hands-on instruction to ensure you’re fully prepared for both the 3A reversing test and the 3B practical driving test.
What is the CE 3A Test?
The CE 3A test is an essential part of the Category CE (Class 1) licence process. It assesses a driver’s ability to handle and manoeuvre an articulated lorry or a rigid vehicle with a trailer in a controlled environment.
During the test, drivers must demonstrate:
✅ Precise Reversing Skills – Parking the vehicle accurately within marked boundaries.
✅ Smooth Vehicle Control – Effective use of steering, braking, and clutch control.
✅ Good Spatial Awareness – Understanding the vehicle’s dimensions to avoid obstacles.
Blessing’s first-time pass proves he has the foundation needed to progress towards his CE 3B on-road driving test.
